I had good success with LO Hippowdon in BW2. Its a good set, not exactly amazing, but still good enough for a set IMO. Having to run Tyranitar with Hippowdon is prolly the sets biggest weakness, however Double Sand does this without much trouble and its pretty easy to fake having SS on Hippowdon anyway (since you bring it in under Sand often).
Personally, I think all Hippowdon really needs is an scms fix but if you want to go ahead with this please add the LO Hippowdon set.
Few quick points

Transition to BW2 brings rise to dangerous threats such as Terrakion and Jirachi.

Reword this, it makes it sound like Terrakion and Jirachi were only released in BW2, or that they were uncommon or not amazing in BW1. This is untrue. Perhapes mention how popular these pokemon are or something, or Garchomp / Kyurem-B if you want to mention "new" pokemon I guess.

Lack of offense; can be set up bait.

Potentially yea, although I don't really risk setting up on Hippowdon since it feels like 90% of them run Whirlwind (or Roar -_-) so I don't consider it set up bait rly.

If Sandstorm support isn't abused, role better left to Landorus-T or Garchomp

Might want to add clarification here. Sandstorm typically lacks abusers compared to Rain and Sun (Landorus, Stoutland and Sandslash are most of them iirc), making it less aggressive. A Hippowdon team doesn't need Stoutland (one of your "sandstorm abusers" to be effective, so be sure to mention that Sandstorm has to have a
purpose on your team rather than stressing
abusers of which there are few (compared with Rain and Sun). Do mention Stoutland / Landorus and maybe Sandslash as partners tho.
