I think everyone knows these decks already, you didn't post your reason for posting them here.

Are you wanting to build one and looking for advice?
 
I don't think the last deck will be viable unless A) you're super lucky or B) you're super rich.

Personally, I don't like the Gachomp list at all. Where'd you get it from? I know the one from the PCG Blog is different. In Garchomp you should always have 4 Level Ball because once you set up your deck you have access to all of your Pokes (besides Emolga, but that shouldn't matter).
 
First of, there were 5 lists qualifying to Worlds. 4 BW-on, 1 DP Palace. Secondly, thore lists aren't the winning lists. Winning decks were Hydreigon/Darkrai, Garchomp/Altaria, Eel/Rayquaza, Eel/Zekrom and the one in DP - Darkrai/Mewtwo/Dialga G
There are those lists (as well as the other age group lists): http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=164162

Here is my reason.
"This is just a post to give others a better idea of what the original expected top tear decks for this format looked like."

I'm not playing with any of the decks on this list.

The sad thing about the Eelektrik/Rayquaza deck is that is is the cheapest deck in Japan and is the most expensive deck everywhere else.

I went back over the Garchomp list and found i posted the wrong list thanks for pointing it out. This list is closer to the original list.

Pokemon
4 Gible (60 HP)
4 Gabite (w/ Dragon Call)
4 Garchomp
4 Swablu (Sing)
3 Altaria (Battle Song)
3 Emogla (Call for Family)

Trainers & Supporters – 27
4 N
3 Professor Juniper
3 Bianca
2 Random Receiver
4 Level Ball
4 Pokemon Catcher
3 Rare Candy
2 Switch
2 Rescue Scarf or Super Rod

Energy – 11
7 Fighting
4 Blend WLFM

I only posted 4 because the DP-on does not apply to us. I posted 4 different decks that all made top cut for anyone looking for ideas to make a new deck. Hydreigon/Darkrai list i posted is the top Japanese deck at the moment and is the original list. Reference-http://www.thedeckout.com/2012/05/eye-on-japan-worlds-qualifiers-in-japan.html Reference-http://www.propokemon.com/deck-articles/japan-national-championships-winning-deck-info-
"I broke the links because i am not familiar with link rules on Poke Beach."

I only posted the lists to give anyone who does not already know a reference to go off of.
