Lapras with FB/Blizz

I have a lapras 2533 CP (H13/A14/D15) 93%IV.
hatched at 17xx CP and powered up (my only lapras and only ice pokemon).
i powered up to defeat 2 2-2.5k dregonite in a row which was very common in gyms before cheaters were ban. After the ban dragonite is very very rare in gyms.
Should i start using him as defender or buddy him to collect candy for future lapras with batter defensive move set and use as attacker against dragonite (very rare) and exeggutor (common in enemy gyms) i am at lvl 29 and have 5 lapras candy.
How good is my lapras with FB/Blizz for defense compare to other pokemon?

I rank him #14 for defense. (Just my personal rating, quite in line with the recommended movesets on this site, but a few differences as well.)

The 13 above are 5 other lapras-movesets, 4 Snorlax, 2 Dragonites and Exeggutor/Slowbro with Confusion/Psychic.

This is as long as they have same level and 100% IV (80% IV won't change much).

With that moveset it does about 80% of the damage of Ice Shard/Ice Beam Lapras, so about 20% worse. That being said, it is still a great Pokémon even for defending. It's power is somewhat similar to a Steel Wing / Hyper Beam Dragonite and Bubble / Hydro Pump Poliwrath.

No one uses Dragonites in your gyms anymore? Odd, still tons of them here.

If it's your only Lapras, power him up. Lapras are very good at defense AND have one of the highest CPs in the game, so your Lapras will be at the top of gyms.

Dregonite is very very rare where i live
i my haven't even seen any Dratini/Dragonair/dragonite self(lvl 29)
i guess all trainer using dragonite previously had got it by spoofing or something and now are ban so i don't see them anymore in gym.
i have invested so much stardust and candy in my lapras so want to make the best use out of it.
