The thing about Choice Scarf Rotom and Specially Defensive Tyranitar is that they lack power, and that basically ruins the purpose of them on the team. With Choice Scarf, Rotom-w can no longer 2HKO those idiotic Tyranitar and Heatran switch-ins, and it can no longer blast through Calm Mind boosts from the like of Suicune and Latias. Essentially, while it does grant the team more Speed, it will be less useful in the long run. The reason D_A and I chose Specs on Rotom-w over Scarf was to smack a few things around, and Trick it off later. We're not even that Gyarados weak, as it barely sets up anywhere (Flygon is the only thing it sets up on, and it gets outsped and KOed with Stealth Rock down the next two turns anyway by it again). The only weakness I can see that Rotom-w helping is is Jolly Lucario, who honestly does not beat Flygon and is often packing Ice Punch, which means it will not be beating Rotom-w either.
Tyranitar may be useful with the extra Special bulk, but I generally don't mind it taking residual damage, paralysis, Toxic, etc...This means it's practically never at 100% when facing these foes. I'll try it out though, since being 22HKOed by a Specs Latias's Surf is pretty troublesome =)
