Most Cymbs are not meant to be grown as house plants. They thrive better outside and they are huge plants when fully grown.
So, what I would do is to put them outside, in the rain to control mites, and for mealy bugs, with a systemic pesticide it's easy to get rid of them (but you need to repot it as mealies grown in the roots too).
About the looks of the leaves, Cymbs are the orchids that I know of that have the ugliest leaves from all of them.
About the leaves falling off...it seems that's an older pbulb so it's perfectly normal to shed older leaves.
