I had some help awhile back with my sun team, but I made a few more changes of my own and want to know what you guys think. This team is for doubles.
Charizard Y: sun-setter and sweeper
Heat wave
Solar beam
Focus blast
Roost

Zoroark: Focus Sash, mixed sweeper, anti-setup
Flamethrower
Taunt
Sucker punch
Pursuit

Victreebel: life orb, mixed sweeper
Leaf blade
Weatherball
Sludge bomb
Growth

Garchomp: choice band, physical sweeper
Earthquake
Iron head
Fire fang
Dual chop

Togekiss: king's rock, paraflinch
Dazzling gleam
Thunder wave
Air slash
Roost

Blissey: heat rock, wall and sun setter
Toxic
Soft boiled
Seismic toss
Sunny day

I know I have a lot of sweepers. The first four on my list have worked pretty well on rating battles, with many of my losses being caused by Talonflame. My friend recommended a Chansey or Blissey.
 
I would normally have suggested LO but Victreebel's got it. :/ Expert Belt or Earth Plate, I guess.
 
This largely looks good to me, but may we know your EVs? That might make it easier to help.

One point is that, as you noticed, it's quite sweeper-heavy. This makes zoroark's taunt a bit less useful than it should be, since it primarily helps to stop the enemy setting up on a defensive pokemon, some of these pokemon wouldn't really be able to benefit from that in the same way.

Also, in doubles it wouldn't hurt to use protect a bit to predict attacks and make your opponent waste turns. Or maybe get something with wide guard, so you can protect a sweeper from an attack while it destroys the enemy? More prediction, of course.

I'm not that familiar with doubles, so if this isn't actually good advice, feel free to ignore it. Anyway, I hope I helped.
