Confusion. If you run simulations, 'Zam with confusion almost always does more DPS than 'Zam with psycho cut, and DPS is what you need for tier 3 raids. Psycho cut is easier to use and more nimble, but the reality is that it underperforms compared to confusion (despite the fact that it "feels" better). Also, you shouldn't do very much dodging when soloing tier 3 raids, so psycho cut's benefits are minimized.
No more than once per attacker, and only if it allows you to launch an extra one-bar charge move. Even then, the extra FS (for example) barely makes up the difference between confusion and PC. Most of the time, when level 30+ players with adequate lineups fail against t3 bosses, it's because they dodge too much.
If PvP is released, or for fast, potion-efficient gym clearing, PC will be better. Against t3 raid bosses, though, confusion is almost always better. The one exception I can think of is using an Alakazam with shadow ball against an Alakazam (or Mewtwo) raid boss. Then, PC might be the better quick move.
