Don't give this thing Head Smash.
Here's a revised stat spread I had in mind for Pyroak:
117 / 105 / 102 / 80 / 96 / 70
Physical Sweepiness: 134 Rank 5: Good
Physical Tankiness: 197 Rank 7: Excellent
Special Sweepiness: 109 Rank 4: Above Average
Special Tankiness: 183 Rank 7: Excellent
Offense/Defense Balance: -10.4 Biased towards Defense
Physical/Special Balance: 5.72 Moderately biased towads Physical
Overall Rating: 345 Very Good
BST: 570
Ok, allow me to explain why I decided on this spread.
Attack/Special Attack/Speed: When thinking of a new stat spread, I immediately wanted Pyroak to be more physically biased. It needs to abuse those powerful 150 Base Power moves in Wood Hammer and Flare Blitz as much as possible. I decided to go with a decently high base 105 Attack stat. Also, this helps it become a much more effective Dragon/Swords Dancer should it receive them in its movepool, which it most likely will. Even though Pyroak is more physically based, I still wanted Pyroak to be able to use a mixed attacking set to good effectiveness, so it needs a decent Special Attack stat. For that reason, I went with base 80 Special Attack, which is definitely not bad, considering that Pyroak will most likely be using Leaf Storm/Overheat, which already have great power. I didn't change the Speed as much, but I bumped it up to 70 in order to tie with 0 Speed Metagross, Skarmory, and Breloom, and outpace 36 Speed Scizor and Vaporeon, and 68 Speed Tyranitar.
HP/Defense/Special Defense: In order to keep Pyroak not that broken, I had to lower its defenses by a bit. Base 117 HP is still a great number to hit, still giving it the ability to use bulky Substitutes and giving it excellent bulk in general. Base 102 Defense makes it take physical hits reliably well, while base 96 Special Defense makes it take special hits better than it did before.
I will include some damage calculations if needed.
Edit: Intimidate is a good ability on this thing for sure.
