Tyranitar and Heatran are too common to give up Focus Blast, so I'll have to say no.
Thunder punishes Bulky Waters and Gyarados, and lets Victini counter Rain teams!

How? Victini will just get killed by pretty much any member of a good Rain team, and Thunder is pretty much crap outside of Rain. Being walled by Tyranitar and Heatran is VERY huge, considering that Tyranitar is one of the most common Pokemon in the metagame
About the special sweeper set, you should slash sub or work up. I've used both to some success. Too bad it doesn't get calm mind.
Edit: Would some sort of mixed victini work with work up?
Just a nitpick but in the physical attacker set, it says Fusion Bolt which is a move exclusive to Zekrom instead of Wild Charge.
I was actually trying to come up with a good mixed set and I really didn't get too into it but I figured
V-Create/Fusion Bolt/Psychic/Focus Blast w/speed boosting nature and equal attacking stats @ Life Orb.
And HP Ice in place of Psychic or HP Ground in place of Focus Blast as other options and the set name would HAVE to be Martini!
Also, SJCrew I'm sure you can find a way to make the mixed set better than what I got but at least try it =P
Set Name: Martini (Mixed)
move 1: V-Create
move 2: Thunder/Fusion Bolt
move 3: Focus Blast/Searing Shot
move 4: Psychic/HP Ice/Hp Ground
item: Life Orb
nature: Naive
evs: 128 Atk/ 128 SpA/ 252 Spe
Ok so I'm just going to explain the slashed in moves as the rest is the same as the above set. Thunder has 77% accuracy on Victini so It's a bit more reliable than normal and you need the extra power due to the split evs Although Fusion Bolt can help Somebody think you're a physical Victini making them switch to their physical wall (although V-Create can also do the same but the speed and defense drop really hurt). And Focus Blast is good coverage while Searing Shot can help bluff being a special Victini and V-create/Fusion Bolt will Cripple if not kill special walls like Blissey or Jellicent (and 30% chance burn is always nice).
Maybe the sets are too similar to be individual sets but go ahead and critique or try the sets for yourselves and see if their can be any improvements made.
mix sets are normally lures for its would be counters but still has an emphasis on a sepcific atking type. i think the mix set should look like this
Mixtini:
@life orb
naive/ hasty
56 atk/ 200 Spa/ 252 spe
-v-create
-thunder
-focus blast
-searing shot / hp ice
the evs are made to have a sure fire 2hko on standard chansey WITHOUT rocks, so with rocks you only need 4 atk evs. thunder and focus blast cover its other weaknesses, while searing shot could be for a reliable stab, but hp gets dragons a gliscor harder (not that any of the physical ones like being burned by searing shot)
