Steel wing/DC legacy Dragonite

I know that due to DPS we are sure that DT/O is new new boss among defending movesets for dragonite. However, due to DC being a 3 bar move now that seems to get spammed for defense is this a much better move than it previously was? SW is a pretty good quick move for defense and allows for type coverage against a lot of the mons that are good against Dragonite. I know that functionally a Dragonite isn't that great on defense but where would you rank this moveset for defense after the recent changes? Both this one and Hurricane get stab but DC seems to get thrown out a ton now.

You are right that DT-OR is the new best moveset for defensive Dragonite. I haven't seen the numbers for defense yet, but I would imagine that SW-DC is just about on par with DT-Hurricane and SW-Outrage. Dragon Claw is really good now.

I think so too. Hurricane, although it has STAB, also has a very high energy cost which makes me think DC is much better. I have two of these and I never put much into them until fighting one after the recent update.
