Nasty Plot Lucario isn't very good, try Sword Dance

? Uhhh guy Lucario's SpA is more then Attack and I put his EV's into that too....

Yes, but Lucario's movepool is based towards him physically attacking.

Plus at max EVs his SpAtk is only 11 more points than his attack, and he has great coverage with his moves.

Well I have SpA EV's and Speed EV's on it. Plus my team is set up to nasty Plot then baton pass with aura sphere. STAB and x3 SpA with a 90 power move. Yeah I'll stick with Nasty Plots

From Smogon (Competitive Pokemon website)

"As Lucario's Special Attack stat is actually higher than its Attack stat, a Nasty Plot set might seem appealing at first glance. However, too many faster Pokemon—including Alakazam, Starmie, and Tornadus-T—resist Vacuum Wave, so it is not as effective as the Swords Dance set."

this looks like vacuum wave vs. bullet punch to get in an attack before the OHKO, to that I say focus band+ flash canon= more damage and surviving the turn. Even with a few sword dances a 60 power move (including STAB) won't usually be a OHKO from what I can tell. Correct me if I'm wrong be the way, I'm just playing devil's advocate.
