This is the team I plan on using for competitive play. Please rate-slash-help it.

Dusknoir
Pressure
Adamant/Brave
HP-252/Atk-252
Leftovers
Pain Split
Will-O-Wisp
Trick Room
Shadow Punch

My lead. Probably will start out using Trick Room. Togekiss (see below) is really the only other one that might benefit from it. The thing I don't like is that my STAB move doesn't affect Normal-types.

Salamence
Intimidate
Adamant
Atk-252/Speed-252
Focus Sash
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Dragon Dance

Decent sweeper. I can safely get at least one DDance against an Ice-type. Sometimes I get lucky and Stone Edge hits. Sometimes I don't and I get Frozen, dangling with 1HP left.

Absol
Super Luck
Jolly
Atk-252/Speed-252
Razor Claw/Scope Lens
Stone Edge
Night Slash
Psycho Cut
Slash

In case you couldn't tell, Absol's trying to get Critical Hits.

Togekiss
Serene Grace
Modest
SpAtk-252/Def-158/SpDef-100
Wise Glasses
Aura Sphere
Air Slash
Tri Attack
Flamethrower

Basic Special Attacker. It has nice defenses also.

Porygon-Z

Modest
SpAtk-252/Speed-252
Choice Specs
Tri Attack
Psychic
Charge Beam
Dark Pulse

Special attacker. I gave it Choice Specs because I'll probably switch it out often.

Blaziken
Blaze
Adamant
Atk-252/Speed-252
Wide Lens
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Blaze Kick
Sky Uppercut

Provides decent coverage I think. Wide Lens because of the inaccuracy of some moves.
 
brilliant team :) the only weakness i would say would be against a scizor starter, who would get in a few swords dances against dusnoir then be able to bullet punch a lot of damage on your team, but if you switched to blazekin on the first turn it who shouldnt be a problem :)
 
One thing I see right off the bat.. no real specially/physically-based wall. Dusknoir and Togekiss are both bulky, but not really a wall, per se...

A team can work without one, yes, but it's a little difficult I find. Maybe I'm just crazy. XD
 
I had planned on using Blissey and/or Skarmory but I personally like an all-out attacking strategy. The best defense is a good offense. Also, some people think using Blissey is cheap.
 
Another thing I noticed: lack of something really... fast on this team. Your hard-hitting attackers have rather average speed that can't do much. The only Pokemon that you have that has good speed that can do something is Salamence (which has DD to work with). They're also too fast to take advantage of Trick Room.. since base speed 70-90 sit at a really weird level where it's too fast to take good advantage of Trick Room, but too slow to outspeed stuff.

Otherwise, nice hard-hitting team. :O

Because Trick Room helps no one else but Togekiss, it isn't really worth the moveslot. Dusknoir should not be trying to outspeed; he should take the hits with his bulk and hit back. Replacing this with something like Earthquake, Brick Break or an elemental punch (depending on what you need)will remove the problem of normal types.

Why are you pulling off your DDs against Ice types? You should be switching to something that can't deal with you and DDing as they leave. This would allow you to give yourself something like Life Orb as an item for massive damage. However, if you find that Focus Sash is necessary, keep it.

Get rid of Slash. It gives you nothing in the way of coverage. Replace it with Sucker Punch, which removes your problem of very low speed to some extent.

Togekiss
Serene Grace
Modest
SpAtk-252/Def-158/SpDef-100
Wise Glasses
Aura Sphere
Air Slash
Tri Attack
Flamethrower

Basic Special Attacker. It has nice defenses also.

As nice as Tri Attack is, it doesn't offer much coverage, so you may want to consider replacing it with Nasty Plot to do more damage. Another alternative would be to stick a Choice Scarf on it, which would, again, help with your speed issues.

Porygon-Z

Modest
SpAtk-252/Speed-252
Choice Specs
Tri Attack
Psychic
Charge Beam
Dark Pulse

Special attacker. I gave it Choice Specs because I'll probably switch it out often.

Psychic doesn't offer much here. Porygon-Z is also not bulky enough to be an effective user of Charge Beam. Replace that with Thunderbolt. Psychic can be replaced with HP Fighting to hit steels SE or with Trick to screw up Blissey.
 
I might suggest making Togekiss Quiet to REALLY benefit from Trick Room. And also, Slash is not a good idea on Absol; I'd go for Sucker Punch. I understand the critical-hit thing (I have it on Drapion), but it could use some speedy backup.
