Look at the second set:
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Dragon Claw / Shadow Claw
move 4: Stone Edge / Overheat / Fire Punch
item: Life Orb / Leftovers
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
And then the analysis:
I'm not an ubers expert, but I can see that both Substitute/Swords Dance and Swords Dance/extra move are both valid, and they are sufficiently different to be split into two separate sets.
Because of this, I'd suggest to replace the set mentioned above with the following two:
One having
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Dragon Claw / Shadow Claw
move 4: Stone Edge / Overheat / Fire Punch
item: Life Orb / Leftovers
and another one having
name: Substitute Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Dragon Claw / Shadow Claw
move 4: Substitute
item: Salac Berry
with appropriate commentary for each.
Since I'm not the uber expert here, I need someone to do this. Thanks.

Notice the mistake? Neither Substitute nor Salac Berry are listed in the set! They were removed because of /itis, but the comments to the set still mention them....Substitute, on the other hand, allows it to beat up Giratina without fear. Groudon can come into a Blissey's Softboiled or so and Swords Dance as they move to Giratina, and then Substitute as Giratina fails miserably trying to Will-o-Wisp the Substitute. Even more to its downfall, Dragon Claw isn't powerful enough to break the Substitutes, allowing Groudon to score even more Swords Dances. Due to the prevalence of terrorizing special attackers in ubers, it is advised that one puts up a Substitute as often as possible, until Salac Berry activates, for if Groudon's Substitute broke, and Latias or Mewtwo decides to barge in before Groudon sets up another Substitute, it will end its sweep... Even if one is planning to run Salac Berry, Jolly is still recommended as it will allow it to outspeed Modest Choice Scarf Kyogres after the Salac boost.
