Everything seems fine except that Infernape can pretty much run through your team once Garchmop is gone and it can only swith in a few times. CB Heradross and Gallade can do the same. I recommend using the Dragon dance Tyranitar for late game after Skarm/Swampert are gone you can set up and after 2 DD's it's usually 'gg'.
aww, i dont like DDance ttar, but I can see how helpful that is. Maybe is there someone I can replace instead of rebreeding ttar?

special sweeper heatran fairenough but lucario is a good choice if legends are forbidden
cradlaly is ok....but I think bronzong is good for sp.def
I don't see the point of T-TAR and hippo go for one or the other
well if hippo dies then i cant reset sandstorm
TTar is offense, Hippo is Defense.
Gliscor is really important to this team, and I'm not just being biased (I love Gliscor). It provides fighting, ground, and bug resists, provides good all round physicla defenses, and takes a dump on threats like Heracross, so no problem there.

IMO, this team really needs more status. Heatran and TTar love paralysis.
