Destiny bond may as well be used in situations where you are expecting residual damage to drain your remaining 1HP, so I don't really see how it is efficient to equip Gengar with a Focus Sash, especially when considering SR.
On the Scizor-Bullet Punch side of things, MYTICGar does a far better job of causing Scizor problems, and even Sub-Pain split is more efficient in dealing general damage plus you can break stall. Gengar, simply put, really enjoys that sub like few other pokemon.
And tbh I've never run into the anti-lead Machamp at all, especially these days with suicide/taunting leads so abundant. If anything, Choice Scarf is the set to worry about.
Check this month's Server Statistics. It just sounds like you haven't been active lately.
Concerning the Anti-Lead set, Zapdos, the first teammate I recommended with this set, can deal with whatever Machamp wants to throw at it bar Stone Edge, though Zapdos does have a small chance to survive the 2HKO with Leftovers and KO the sub and Machamp right back.
This isn't a great idea, as even the typical physically defensive Zapdos will be not only taking confusion (or a slightly more powerful 100 base Payback), but also will likely be taking SR damage and then consequently 48% - 56.9% from a 252 Stone Edge. This is a genuine chance to 2HKO without even factoring in possible confusion damage. On the Flip, Physical Defensive Zapdos doesn't have a chance at 2HKOing a 252/96 Machamp. Considering a Majority of Machamp run Stone Edge, I have to say this Zapdos "partnership" is a rather loose relationship.
