As for the play in question....
When the situation is right (depending on my opponents and a number of other things), I like showing strength from the blinds after a rag flop.
The play you described is ok, but one I like much better here, is a check raise... That also gives you the opportunity to change your mind and get off it without spending any more money, but if all goes according to plan (check to the guy in late position and he bets out what looks like a steal with overcards), it's a great opportunity to throw out a nice raise and take the pot down.
Don't try this against a weak opponent, of course. He needs to understand what you are telling him, which is that you have him in bad shape and his big cards probably aren't even outs.
