It really depends what you team needs xD. In this generation, it really seems both physical and special sets will have a bit of trouble getting through without proper support. There are more moves and abilities that hinder and annoy physical sets, as well as specially defensive walls popping up here and there. Prankster sets and priority moves causes anyone trouble, probably more for Crobat.
Crobat has the option of poison, nasty plot and maybe flinch hax(?) that can help him prevent getting walled by certain things compared to his physical sets. Though, I guess it's really just Heatran that does it. It's also lucky for Crobat that Steel-types lost their resistances to ghost and dark moves, so he can pick up either shadow ball or dark pulse, if he doesn't get heat wave.
It might be a gimmick, but having something with intimidate + prankster will-o-wisp + possibly baby doll eyes sent out towards will annoy any physical attacker. On top of burn and baby doll eyes being a priority move that lowers an opponent's attack stat. It's stuff like this that would make Umbreon become a bigger stalling tank.
