A competitor's SEO firm is building spammy links to my website. I know the disavow link process, but even this can be time consuming. Is there a better way to protect my website? Any and all ideas appreciated....
Are there any cool Moz tools that can help me manage this assault?

Sorry, just a follow up from me...
It appears that many of the spammy links (referrals) I see in Google Analytics are not present in Google WebMaster Tools. Does this mean that the spammy ones that I'm concerned about have already been discounted by Google, or are the spammy links no-follow? Any input on this would also be appreciated.

Typically, spam links don't generate much actual traffic. Is it possible that what you're seeing in GA is referral spam instead? http://www.optimizesmart.com/geek-guide-removing-referrer-spam-google-analytics/
Also, do you see the links in Open Site Explorer? This might help determine if the links are real or if the referrals you are seeing are "phantom"

I would indeed disavow like you are already doing and keep your lists up to date with the data from Google Analytics, Moz, Majestic SEO and the other tools that are available. They'll keep you up to date on new links coming in, mostly GWT is running behind in doing this.
