I prefer Life Orb on offensive Whimsicott because being locked into Grass moves or a non-STAB 70% accuracy move kinda blows. Also, Life Orb gives it the freedom of running a support move such as Tailwind, Encore, Stun Spore, etc. The only merits with using that Choice Specs set > Life Orb from what I can see is the extra power, since you have Giga Drain to compensate for Life Orb recoil and even previous residual damage, but I'm not too sure what KOs Choice Specs Whimsicott gets over Life Orb, and whether or not those KOs are important enough to give up using a support move (which imo is one of the appeals of LO Cott) leaves me a bit hesitant to call Choice Specs a good item on offensive variants. If you were to use Choice Specs though, I'd recommend using Switcheroo so it can at least cripple Registeel, Golbat, and other Pokemon that typically counter Whimsicott, so then Choice Specs has more to differentiate itself over Life Orb, but even then that's kind of a stretch...
