Surprisingly, no. However, it depends on the set, and in most practical situations, it is probably taking Scizor out. If we assume 252/0 Scizor, then unboosted 0 SpA Flare Dash does 69.76 - 83.72%. Even with 252 SpA and Modest it does 95.34 - 112.79%, meaning Scizor has a chance to survive. However, as you would expect, items can really help out. With a Life Orb, you only need 100 EVs and a neutral nature to get the OHKO guaranteed.
Though one thing I was noticing after having made this move is that despite how awesome it seems, I don't think it would really get too much use. Beating a Scizor Bullet Punch is the only key thing it does, and while it is frail, one of the few competitive things I did calc while making it was that with 70/63 defenses, CB Scizor cannot KO from full health with Bullet Punch. Now of course, not taking 99% damage is preferable, but in general Froxbite is fast enough that priority might be wasted on it. Who knows though?

While a mod may feel free to correct me if this is wrong, I think that is just the kind of thing this thread is for, so go right ahead. Hopefully I will be getting the prevos started before too long, but, especially until then, there is no better place to talk about them than here.
