For Scyther, l think the best use for it would be Swords Dance or Night Slash.
l see no real use for Double Hit on Scyther, and with a +2 ATK from Swords Dance, it could be a great sweeper with 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature, that's quite a lot of speed.

Although if you really don't want Swords Dance, Night Slash would be quite alright. With a high critical rate, it could do a lot of damage if put to good use.

(+) Although, Cranidos does have a good point, l forgot about Technician. Even with Technician, since it's a Normal type move, it won't be as effective as Swords Dance powering up everything, or Night Slash for coverage with a high critical rate.
Double Hit would probably be for damage, but will provide no coverage at all. ~

Double Hit is usually to break subs on the first hit, then do damage on the second. However, it's not really powerful enough for that.

I would go with double hit because it's ability technition mutiplys moves with the power of 60 or lower by 1.5

Double Hit with both Technician and Swords Dance makes no change in base power, so it will still get boosted with Technician. Scyther's moveset with Technician is really powerful- Bug Bite which has Secondary effect, unlike X-Scissor, Aerial Ace which get the maximum boost from Technician+STAB, Swords Dance and Double Hit.
