Author's Opinion: With Weavile, revenge killing will never be the same. With Pursuit and Ice Shard in hand, both helpful moves to repel Dragon types (*stares at Salamence*) as well as moves that complement a revenge killer, Weavile can get the job done well. Not to mention it's decent attack and blistering speed.
On the downside, it doesn't have powerful STAB moves to use. And Choice Scarf users can still outspeed Weavile.

~ Night Slash/Ice Punch
With two useful moves for revenge killing, Pursuit and Ice Shard, Salamence will flee for it's life. And even if it switches out, Stealth Rock foils it. Brick Break can get its way past Steel types who will wall it to no ends. Night Slash and Ice Punch are STAB options if you think the opposing Pokemon will stay in.

Your generic Swords Dance sweeper. Boost and sweep. Ice Punch for more power, Ice Shard to outrun. Night Slash for additional STAB.
Countering Tentacruel:Scizor and Metagross can pick off an opposing Weavile with Bullet Punch, bypassing its high speed.
Heracross, Machamp and other Fighting types can take a hit and deal high damage to Weavile with their STAB Fighting attacks. Lucario can do it too, but must be wary of Brick Break. Mach Punch ruins it as well.
Gyarados can use Intimidate and OHKO with Stone Edge.
Also beware of Choice Scarf Pokemon, as they can outrun you and deal a good amount of damage due to Weavile's poor defenses.
