DB-DC is still the best sweeper, although his "full tilt" DPS is slightly lower than DT-Outrage and the other Dragon Tail movesets.

I would say that legacy DB/DC and DT/O are A offensive ratings. All others are a step below but I prefer DB/DC due to the ability to do similar if not the same damage while avoiding taking damage. If you do not dodge then you may prefer DT/O but the damage gap between the two isn't much to talk about anyway.

Good question! I was wondering the same. Before the change DB was for offense and SW for defense and there weren't any bad movesets. But now? DB Dragonite is still very good, especially with DC or DP. DT seems to be the prefered choice in comparison to SW for both offense and defense. Am I right or is SW better in some scenarios?

I think that thanks to STAB and defensive timing that DT will always be better than SW although SW does provide a type coverage on defense. However, I think you will find that the vast majority would take DB over DT on offense.
