This is what I came up with, after a lot of consideration:
While making this movepool, I tried to give people what they want. Most of the big special moves are there, including Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, and I've got some pretty neat support options for you including Trick and the screens. I've personally got a vendetta against Stealth Rock, but I kept it in there because it's what the people want.
I'm trying to give this Pokemon as many options as possible, as you can see. I honestly don't think this is going to very easily become broken, and being broken is arguably not even that bad, thanks to the advent of the revision process. If anything, becoming subpar is hundreds of times worse, as it will not be revised and will suffer for eternity.

Explanation:
I focused primarily on clawed moves and some minor Technicianable moves like Mud Shot for the level-up pool. I also included Disable which on some support in the Non-Attack Moves discussion. Thunder Wave was also added in, could find a cool use. Metal Sound can be used to force some switches and works a little faster than Calm Mind when used on a switch. Knock Off also made it on. It's an interesting option and pretty much all clawed pokemon get it. U-Turn is also there for a good lead option, though it isn't particularly powerful.
Finally, this second version has the full range of Rock STAB moves. I dropped Harden and Slash for Sandstorm and Weather Ball. This might have made my level-up moves contain too many "competitively viable" moves, but the vast majority of them are STAB, and you will probably only use one per set. The existence of AP, Ancient Beam, and Weather Ball mostly preclude Power Gem from seeing use I believe. I don't really see this as any different from fire types who learn Lava Plume, Flamethrower, and Fire Blast along with their support moves.
Calm Mind won enough support, so I begrudgingly added it in. FT and FB are there, but Overheat has considerably less diversity in the pokemon that learn it, depiction or otherwise.
In other words, this has all the tools it needs for special sweeping, and it can actually use technician because of Giga Drain, Air Cutter, Vacuum Wave, and a few other useful options that provide different coverage. It can use Swords Dance and some physical Tech options to its advantage as well.
For filler special attacks, it has elemental beams, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, and Dragon Pulse. Psychic did not seem to fit to me, and neither Relicanth nor Sudowoodo get it either (though they do get CM), so it seemed justified to me.
Not included in the movepool: Trick, Taunt, Explosion, Screens. Seriously, this thing isn't Psychic or Ghost. Trick doesn't fit. At all. Taunt was excluded because it largely supplants Aerodactyl and other Taunt leads. Explosion also screams of a suicide lead and I decided against it; makes it too easy to deal with Blissey. I excluded the screens from V2 because I wanted my set to scream sweeper instead of jack-of-all trades. To be sure it has some interesting support moves, but the bulk of its attacks are directed at dealing damage.
RE: Giga Drain:
Forretress gets it because it is a Bug. Bugs suck the life out of opponents with their bites, just like Mosquitos. Zangoose gets it, like Kabutops and a bunch of other random things, by attacking with their claws and draining fluids, etc. I have no clue why Xatu gets it, but whatevs.
X-Act
Level-Up:
Basically these are moves that this Pokemon is capable of learning. It's capable of learning Defense Curl and Rollout from looking at the Pokemon's art. Quick Attack is obvious due to this Pokemon's high Speed. Disable is interesting, as DougJustDoug said, as is Acupressure. Power Gem is obviously due to its gems adorning its body, while Headbutt and Head Smash are, again, very possible with this Pokemon's art. The only moves that are competitive are Ancient Beam and maybe Metal Sound and Weather Ball.
TMs:
Basically this Pokemon gets most Special moves that lets it have a wide spectrum of type coverage to choose from... without rendering it broken. For example, Rock/Fire/Ground or Rock/Fire/Electric is walled by Flygon, Rock/Fire/Ice or Rock/Fire/Grass are walled by Heatran, etc. As I see it, Flygon and Heatran together wall practically most of the sets that this Pokemon would have, and hence Calm Mind is worth a try.
Tutors:
Again these moves make a lot of sense on this Pokemon. Some of them are flavour moves, like Magnet Rise (it gets Levitate), Rollout (learns it also from level-up), Zem Headbutt (learns Headbutt from Level-up), Iron Head (ditto), Mud-slap (physically capable of learning it) and Swift (it's a fast Pokemon, hence Swift). The others are moves that gives it additional type coverage or help a hypothetical Technician set, like Icy Wind, Ominous Wind, Ancientpower and Vacuum Wave.
Gothic_Togekiss
Level-Up:
Yes...that's right, I caved in to people's opinions and gave it Weather Ball. Removed Lock-On/Zap Cannon for Discharge mainly for flavor because nothing beats a electromagnetic creature discharging all that built-up electrical energy.
Replaced Head Smash for Double Edge. Wanted a more unique final move than Head Smash or Explosion. Still has a physical rock move if one wants to use that gimmicky Sword Dance set.
TMs:
Overall it looks about the same as before except without all those unnecessary moves. I removed Psychic and Psychic related moves from the table because it doesn't seem to fit on Rockmon all that much.
Decided to remove Taunt from the list, but I'm keeping Reflect, Light Screen, and Ice Beam. People don't like the suicidal lead idea all that much and I'm appealing to that crowd. They're already existing Pokemon that have Ice Beam but no Blizzard, so no flavor issue with Rockmon having Ice Beam. The screens won't overpower him anytime soon in my belief so they can stick around for the time being.
Move Tutors:
Removed Superpower, Trick, any other move that was deemed unnecessary, although Knock Off stays because majority of the voters liked it. Important/possible competitive viable moves are in bold.

Level-Up/TMs:
Notable Exclusions- Taunt,Energy ball,Thunderbolt,Thunder,Screens,Ice beam
Stealth rock/Taunt
I am in the "No Suicide Lead" supporter and didn't want this move, however this got support from the vast majority so i have added it. Instead i got rid of Taunt as it barely got enough votes to even get through to the movepool stage.
Levitate/Technician
People are undermining how important Levitate is to this pokemon, for a start without Levitate the single most used pokemon in the game will revenge kill you every single time.
Modest Scarftran Earth power vs Min/Min Rockmon = 90%-106%
Timid Scarftran Earth power vs Min/Min Rockmon = 82%-97%
If SR is down Timid Heatran will OHKO 60% of the time.
With moves like Energy ball and Thunderbolt, no one would ever use Technician. Giga drain,Shock wave and Charge beam allow Technician to be a real alternative to Levitate.
Its still has Earth power,Ancient beam,Hidden power,Focus blast,Shadow ball,Flamethrower and Explosion for coverage with Levitate.
Tutors:
Icy wind
I didn't want to add this without Ice beam. As this move would only be used on a Technician set it is not missed much anyway because just about every other useful attacking type is covered(Giga drain,Shock wave,Flamethrower etc),allowing you to use HP Ice.
Trick
Trick is getting very common on several special sweepers, mainly as a way to shut down Blissey and other walls, adding another one is hardly "Breaking the mold".
