Obviously you'd use Fusion Bolt on Kyurem-B on a Skarmory instead, but this is just a comparison. Haxorus also has the ability to solidly 2HKO at +1 with Aqua Tail in the rain and the ability to OHKO Ferrothorn at +1 with Super Power (and Low Kick after rocks I think. Can't check that).
Kyurem-B and Haxorus are quite similar in my opinion - One boasts a huge attack (and better SpA) with no set up while the other demolishes walls when set up.

I wouldn't set up knowing my opponent has a skarmory. Of course in your example it would seem they are similar because they both don't hit one of their main counters very hard. Thats like if I said starmie and vaporeon are similar because they both hit blissey very poorly.
