Heliolisk moveset

Hi guys and gals. I need to refine my Heliolisk's moveset for my mono-NOR team.
Timid, Specs. I went for Specs over Life Orb as without it I can't 1HKO Keldeo with Volt Switch.
Volt Switch and Grass Knot are the two essential moves, but the remaining two are difficult choices. The choices are;
HP Ice (1HKO Landorus, Salamence etc, Dragonite after SR chip)
HP Fire (1/2HKO Scizor, Ferrothorn)
Surf (1HKO Excadrill, avoids being walled by Heatran)
Hyper Voice (decent STAB)
Dark Pulse and Focus Blast are other considerations.
If I go for HP FIR and Surf I get walled by dragons, but without HP FIR I get walled by Ferrothorn. At the moment HP Ice and Hyper Voice look like the best bet.
My other team members are Chansey, Lopunny, Porygon Z, Smeargle and Staraptor.
Thoughts?
