I haven't used Scarfswine much, but Bandswine is pretty bad. The power is nice, but Life Orb is nearly as powerful and you need the ability to switch moves. It's especially invaluable with all the Ground-immune Pokémon like the Therians running around where you will need the Ice coverage.

Maybe, maybe using an Expert Belt to bluff a Sash or Choice item could be an OO option. Actually, the more I think about it, the more viable it sounds. Base 130 Attack backed by (in my opinion) the best existing STAB combination in the game (Dragon/Fighting and Ghost/Fighting are better, but that's neither here nor there) could make it work more than anything else.
