The star of Gen V? the thing's ubers now, and just speed boost does not make it epic, it's contending with things like mewtwo, arceus, palkia, pokemon with attacking or special attacking stats of over 150 while still having defensive stats of 90+.
If it was OU then yes, it would be a star, but as it's in ubers tier, it gets defeated easily by pokemon such as kyogre, rayquaza, palkia, groudon, mewtwo, lugia, in fact almost all ubers, because it does not have the power to KO any of them, and even though it is getting some use now, it is simply because of the excitment of speed boost, it will not be a star of the ubers metagame.
However, i agree about Ferrothorn, i hate the thing and personally have no problems against it, however it seems to single handedly changed the metagame from the rampaging speed and attack freaks of Gen IV to a much bulkier and stall filled metagame.
