Rotom-A formes should obviously be tiered differently. On the Species Clause argument: I think that Species Clause should apply in this case. It would be hypocrite to have Pokémon like Deoxys and Shaymin under this clause, while allowing the Rotom formes in standard play. It was said before already, that it would be too complicated to make many exceptions (perhaps a new clause) just to prevent Rotom-A from breaking Species Clause. The way we should handle the Rotom formes is, in my opinion, the same in which we do with Shaymin. Its formes have different typing and movepool, thus tiered apart; yet they still break the Species Clause.
