Virizion (Analysis)

Volcarona is a counter for the calm mind set, actually, the first set is setup bait for it, perhaps a slash on hidden power rock as well.
 
I'd like to say how good of a partner Volcarona is for SD Virizion, and I think that should be at least mentioned in the additional comments.
 
Can I suggest a Life Orb set that i create. Its pretty nice once you deleted
your threats. Anyways here's the set:
Virizon
Ev's A252/S252/SpA4
Nature: Naughty/Naive
Ability: Justified
Close Combat/Sacred Sword
Stone Edge
Leaf Blade/X-Scissor
Hidden Power Ice/Fire/Ground
Its just to sweep CC is main STAB or Sacred Sword. Stone Edge are mostly for Zapdos, at least in my case.Leaf Blade can be your secondary STAB with decent coverage. X-scissor are for Dark type. Hidden Power Ice are for dragons and good coverage. HP Fire are for bulky steel type infested in Defense. HP Ground is the EdgeQuake combo but it's kinda weak.
A side Note: Naughty nature can out Speed all Neutral Speed Dragons and non scarfed. Except for Latios and Latias. Same goes with Naive outspeed all +Speed Dragons non scarfed and once again except for +Speed Latios and Latias.
 
I wouldn't bother mentioning Taunt on the Calm Mind set. Not many of Virizion's counters rely on status to beat it (your ability to beat Chansey / Blissey even with Taunt is shaky at best, and Ferrothorn will just Gyro Ball you).

On the Swords Dance set, I recommend slashing / mentioning X-Scissor to beat Celebi and Latias (can hit Latios on the switch, but it will generally outrun Virizion and KO it).
