The Speed drop could make it really useful to remove an incoming Tornadus-T so that it can't just click Hurricane and KO Breloom.

EDIT: After the Technician boost, Rock Tomb's base power increases to 75. Stone Edge is the obvious choice for immediate power, but Rock Tomb has a niche for the Speed drop. Your choice, I guess
Rock Tomb cant OHKO Tornadus-T, Thundurus-T or Landorus-T while Stone Edge can. The only reason why you would want to use a Rock move is the super effective vs Fly who resist both STAB moves. Stone Edge just makes your revenge killing window of oportunity way bigger.
