I prefer Outrage over Dragon Claw with a Persim Berry. You won't need to do much healing with Leftovers after one DDance and and an Outrage onslaught.

bye bye dragonite.

Thunderpunch; it's 100% accurate (compared to Aqua Tail's 90%) and is useful for taking care of those pesky Ice Beaming water types.

And the way I see it, if the opponent switches to a Steel type, they'll take a free hit from Outrage. This'll either end it with the Persim Berry curing your confusion, or proceed to hit it once more (you should be faster) hopefully 2HKO. If you managed to DDance once, then a 2HKO is quite likely (with the exception of maybe Aggron and Skarmory). If the Outrage only lasts 2 turns however, Earthquake (or even Firepuch) can take out the Steel Type.
