I just started playing the deck recently, but I've found playing all three duals is very helpful against wasteland. I would definitely recommend it over playing a basic.
On 3 land, with bayou, you won't get color screwed by a single wasteland, but if you have U. Sea, Tropical Island, Island or even 2 of one dual, and one of the other, you lose access to a color. The deck's pretty strong against Wasteland, so I wouldn't worry about playing basics. If you notice in Bryant Cook's Round 5, Game one, his opponent's wastelands actually advance his strategy.
Then again, Bryant didn't play bayou, and it seemed to work out. Maybe if you play mongoose, you can go without it. In a list with Tombstalker, I'd definitely recommend 1 or 2.
