I just spent an hour typing up a post about this log and then my computer dies on me JUST as I was going to post it. I still want to post it as it showcases several things about Wobbuffet but Im not going into as much detail as I originally did as I don't have another hour to edit this monster log.
Anyway, a ladder match with me on my side account (mn_wild) against anajalim (which I found out at the end is IPL's side account). Both our teams highlight Wobbuffet and what you can create from smart uses of Wobbuffet. Ill comment in bold and cut out long parts of the log.
Just a summary of what I try to do each battle with this team. I try to bring out their special walls early. (ideally it is Blissey - and shoddy battle usage shows it generally is) and I use a specially tailored Wobbuffet spread (I run 192 Speed EV's to outrun Blissey handily. I used to run less speed but I ran across a Blissey running 8 Speed EV's JUST for Wobbuffet's! I'm here to just present what I found with my testing, but I will throw out that it feels like overcentralizing when Blissey's and Wobbuffet get in speed wars. Though, I do admit speed wars are apart of the game as I have run across countless Celebi running 40 or 44 speed just to outrun the 36 speed Celebi - so I guess it is just a part of the game) When I bring out their special walls I attempt to catch those special walls in less than ideal moves to Encore them and force them into Struggle or Counter/Mirror Coat deaths. Anyway here are the teams:
mn_wild
Raikou, Wobbuffet, Heatran, Starmie, Zapdos, Bronzong
anajalim
Wobbuffet, Blissey, Zapdos, Celebi, Forretress, Deoxys-S
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
anajalim sent out Wobbuffet (lvl 100 Wobbuffet ?).

Wobbuffet forces me to make a game breaking move on Turn 1! I almost decide to CM since I've set up several Raikou sweeps after eliminating the proper special walls with my team and I don't really want to lose Raikou on Turn 2 to a Wobbuffet. IF I decide to CM here he would go to Forretress, set down Toxic Spikes, and my team would have surely lost this battle because Wobbuffet and Raikou are pretty much useless when Toxic Spikes inflict them. I make the smart move and accept Raikou's fate and eat the Mirror Coat death next turn.

Another highlight of Wobbuffet! How can you beat Wobbuffet? Well if you can Toxic a Wobbuffet you end its ability to force you into Struggle or its ability to Tickle you down to -6 Def. HOWEVER, if he had Encore'd the Toxic here I could have lost the battle again! Within the first several turns of the match Wobbuffet is creating game breaking moves! If he encore's the Toxic he then gets to bring in Forretress freely - setup Toxic Spikes - and end my Wobbuffet's ability to trap and kill his special wall (Blissey). Obviously Wobbuffet's aren't always involved in such game breaking moves like this in all cases - but it is just an interesting log highlighting Wobbuffet so I had to bring it out. My team is really weak to Toxic Spikes and I just never had the heart to fit Rapid Spin on Starmie (I run a bulky spread but with Surf/Ice Beam/Tbolt/Recover - when blissey is gone this thing wrecks teams).

I stupidly Toxic again - I could have lost again if he had stayed to Encore Toxic or gone to Forretress. At the time I obviously didn't realize this, but geez.. this is intense stuff when I look back in hindsight.
But, Aha! The special wall my team tries to bring out. I decide to scout its moveset because I don't want to bring Wobbuffet out too early and kill his chances of eliminating Blissey. I scout for the Thunder Wave by bringing in Bronzong as he doesn't mind it at all.

Blissey doesn't run Thunder Wave it seems and I wish I had brought Wobbuffet in to get that Stealth Rock move and Encore it. However, if I can predict a softboiled that also gets Wobbuffet in easily enough to Encore trap Softboiled into a Struggle death.

I NEARLY click on Stealth Rock with my Bronzong. However, I remember the countless times I have done the same thing to opposing Bronzong - they Stealth Rock/Equake/Gyro Ball/etc. and I bring in Wobbuffe to outspeed and Encore the move until Bronzong struggles or I counter him to death. I remember Wobbuffet's presence and bring in Heatran to try and get his Blissey out so I can setup my own trap.

He gets his layer of Toxic Spikes down to hamper my Wobbuffet swap ins. I unfortunately used up 4 Encore PP to stall out blissey so my remaining 4 Encore won't be enough to force Toxic Spikes 32 PP into Struggle - but I take the free swap to Heatran to cause some mayhem without Blissey around!

I force him to shuffle around a little bit and kill his Wobbuffet and Zapdos in the process. He does some invaluable damage to my Heatran with Zapdos though as DeoE might be able to take him out with SuperPower now(which this is one of my first battles testing out Scarf Heatran over a ResTalk one and it worked out well for me to limit Zapdos damage - unfortunately for me the bulky ResTalk Heatran would have been sweeping just like my Scarf one - but with the ability to recover damage :/) I carry the counter to DeoE in Bronzong though and bring him in.
Here is where I make a mistake though. I am just an average battler and should have jumped all over this chance. He is reeling from his Blissey/Zapdos/Wobbuffet being taken out and I forced him to show his hand with his sweeper in DeoE waaaay before he would like to (otherwise Heatran would just keep rolling through the team). Bringing in Bronzong to take the SuperPower was smart, but I should have realized that he wasn't going to risk me using Gyro Ball to eliminate his sweeper (and all hopes) of winning this game. I stupidly decide to Stealth Rock on the switch instead of swapping back to Heatran for a chance at another Fire Blast to take out something and essentially win the game. This isn't really relevant to Wobbuffet - but I am living and learning from my mistakes and just pointing it out.
I'm also quite greedy and run the Life Orbed Surf/Tbolt/Ice Beam/Recover Bulky Starmie as I almost need all the moves - even though Rapid Spin would be invalubale to my team too. Thats part of my own dilemma and team tweaks that I surely will continue to go through as I keep testing Wobbuffet. Back to boring log and more Wobbuffet comments later

WHY did I not go to Heatran? I would have ended it all right here as something would go down to Fire Blast (I hadn't seen Celebi but the fact that the unknown Pokemon didn't come into Heatran's Fire Blast rampage earlier should have alerted me it obviously wouldn't appreciate a Fire Blast either). A horrible mistake that NEARLY costs me the match.
Ill put this note here - IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE ME CONTINUALLY BLUNDER AND MAKE DUMB MISTAKES THAT NEARLY COST ME THE MATCH SKIP TO THE BOLD/ITALIC Comment farther in the match - my Wobbuffet makes a reappearence.

Ugh, FINALLY bring Heatran in way too late - and he has 18% of spikes damage up (3/16) and Heatran can't live another swap in to beat his Celebi. This mistake just results in a stupid stall war that I win at the end because Zapdos Pressure ability stalls his Celebi out.

SHED SHELL on Deo-E to prevent Wobbuffet from trapping it!? I think I said I was here just to present this log and my thoughts on Wobbuffet... but shed shell on Deo-E just for Wobbuffets (and Dugtrio's using Sucker Punch I guess) just screams overcentralization to me, and this is even when the shoddy battle statistics show he is barely even in the OU range of usage!
I told myself I would just limit my post to the log (and I indicated that earlier in my post I think) and what Wobbuffet can do for teams built around him, but if anyone really cares heres my opinon on him too:
I want to make an assumption that Wobbuffet in the right hands with the right player WILL ruin the OU metagame, but my assumption doesn't count for much. It took me a week to get used to using Wobbuffet and finely tone my team to take advantage of his presence. Not only has he acted as a special wall killer to set up my Raikou (Gengar/Yanmega were in that spot too)/Starmie sweeps, but he can also live to revenge kill or against stall teams he might get lucky enough to Encore stall 2 pokemon to struggle death/mirror coat/counter deaths. Of course, I assume people that make an effort to CENTER a team on Wobbuffet will succeed in using him and abusing him to hurt the OU metagame. In my OPINION and from my ASSUMPTION (so take it as you want - in the end its only an opinion from one person) Wobbuffet should be uber. I think (notice key word "think" - please don't rip me for having an opinion on a pokemon I tested for a week straight - if you don't agree with it then let me know but don't rip me for it - and only disagree with me if you yourself have put effort into testing it - thanks)I think the reason he suffers badly in shoddy battle rankings are people don't know how to use him or don't put enough effort into him. It took me three days to get the hang of using him properly! The arguments that Wobbuffet is "easy to use" are garbage in my opinion. Using him as a revenge killer is brainless and "easy to use" I guess. Utilizing his ability to trap, the ability to tweak natures and EV's, and centering a team around him is difficult - but in the right player's hands it will ruin the metagame. This log shows glimpses of everything he does - from my mentions of putzy speed wars with Blissey's so he can't trap and kill them to deciding between what move to let him Encore -- if I had given IPL the chance to setup the toxic spikes before killing his Blissey I would have surely lost. The fear of Wobbuffet trapping and killing Deo-E forced a shed shell onto him so Deo-E can't be revenge killed by Wobbuffet and hurt IPL's chance to sweep. This log also shows glimpses of Wobbuffet that do make him OU material too. The move Toxic/Toxic Spikes can efficiently shut him down. Shed Shell is an item that can stop him - is it ideal? - not at all but if you have a sweeper that is prone to Wobbuffet maybe it should become an item that needs to be considered if he does go OU. The battle also doesn't show any other ways like taunting, etc - but Colonel M lays it all so well in his post I'll stop here.
So after testing him for a week I believe he is Uber material still. Thats my opinion agree with it, disagree with it - but if you disagree with it PLEASE have actually used it or worked with him for a week or so - if you play tested him for less than 3 days I am going to say your opinion of him in incomplete and I won't really care.
And if you cared about the log I cut about 40 turns of Zapdos versus Celebi stall war (thanks Pressure saving me from my noobish mistakes!) It was a fun battle even if pretty stally and lengthy

*snip* cut out a ton of turns here to skip to the end just for some closure to the battle log, even if it has nothing to do with Wobbuffet :). Just a good showcase of how skill affects the game. If I had been a little more skilled and brought Heatran in sooner I would have handily won 2/3-0 and won this match easily. But I'm always picking up new things and hopefully I can keep improving. Thanks for reading (if you even bothered after my Wobbuffet parts).

As I said in the beginning of my post I had some more content too it, but I don't feel like taking up too much more time (always save your documents as you work on them in 5 minute intervals! I always hated people saying "save your work every chance you get!" but it would have saved me dearly here :( ) I think I got to my main points: Thanks for reading it out and listening to my opinion!
Final Edit (for now):
-I am not a great writer (Im going into Accounting - working with numbers fits my style better :)), and I am sorry if this comes across as sloppy and a bit disjointed. Thank you for taking the time to read it and decipher my thoughts.
-My opinions seem unorganized and just shoved in there with poor structure. When I have time I want to edit that section out and make it more visually appealing and deciraphable.
-An argument I would say I agree with (that is better thought out than mine and easier to comprehend the point) would be imperfectluck's arguments. He has some posts in the policy review forum I would quote, but people can check them out themselves. The second post within the new Wobbuffet topic in that forum is quite simple yet the post makes some solid statements
