Looks pretty solid. I don't use most of those Pokemon enough to really suggest anything major, so I'll just suggest what I use on some of them.

Ferrothorn
Leech Seed turns this guy into something pretty evil. If Stealth Rock is turning you off on this guy, I can attest to the sheer awesome that is a Lead Infernape(who I will cover later). I don't use Ferrothorn, but the variants I've seen with Leech Seed are pretty brutal.

Blissey
I've never used Blissey once, but isn't 252 HP EVs kind of the standard for it?

Dusclops
Pain Split is basically the only way you're going to get recovery on this guy, and I'd opt for that over Protect. With his HP not exactly being good, he can wreck some of the more defensive Pokes and just maul Life Orb'd sweepers.

Infernape
This guy can do just about everything but defend.
Infernape@Focus Sash
Hasty/Naive
Blaze
252 SpA, 192 Spe, 64 Atk
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock
-Fire Blast/Flamethrower/Overheat
-Close Combat

Take your pick on the Fire STAB. This guy is an amazing lead, able to break Sashes, set up Stealth Rock, and most likely retaliate with a Blaze-, STAB-boosted Fire Blast(and if you can get SE, even better). He's fast enough to outspeed the vast majority of leads, and is quite powerful to boot.

Salamence
In my experience, a Lum Berry and Dragon Dance will serve you better than Choice Band and Rock Slide. After a Dragon Dance(two is preferable for the best speed), his attack will already be sky-high, and Moxie just capitalizes on that. Dragon Dance helps to get his speed to a good enough level where he can just attack, attack, attack without fear of interruption. He also won't be locked into a move, just in case.

Alakazam
Charge Beam is good for finishing off a weakened opponent and maybe even grabbing a Sp. Attack boost. Psyshock is a good alternative to Psychic, hitting Specially Defensive Pokemon in their(usually weaker) Defense.
