Use Swords Dance because you are already faster than your opponent. Take a big hit. Use either STAB Swarm Swords Danced X-Scissor or Reversal to decimate your opponent. Night Slash is good filler with the whole Fighting and Dark combo.
Why add calculations when you can try it first hand?
as for terrakion, i distinctly recall, when SR was revealed as a BW2 tutor, some people mentioning lead terrakion. i would certainly expect SR terrakion if it was in the lead position because that discussion has remained strong in my mind, but i agree that few people would. it's nice because it's got a lot of offensive pressure (even the most offensive deoxys d just doesn't hit all that hard really), so defensive teams are hesitant to stay in on it and you can often use the free switch to nab a hazard. obviously you could have used the free switch to sd as well, but as we should all know, stealth rock is the best move in the game lol
