EVs would totally be appreciated.

Lucario and Blaziken should use 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe.

Extrasensory is good for in-game runs, but not in competitive play. Instead, Greninja should use U-turn (to scout) or Hidden Power Fire (to hit Ferrothorn and Forretress). In that case, make the EV spread 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe.

Make Dragonite's EV spread 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe.

While Poison Jab gives coverage against Fairies, Blaziken can already hit them hard enough with Flare Blitz. That slot should be given to Swords Dance or Stone Edge.

Thick Fat is Snorlax's superior ability since it gives it resistances to Fire and Ice:
-Return/Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Pursuit
-Wild Charge/Crunch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat

Scizor's EV spread should be 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef.

This one I think I can help with, as Platinum Dude already said everything that needed to be said on most of the other threads.

Lucario should use Crunch instead of Earthquake, so its not helpless against Ghost and Psychic types. You could also run a Focus Sash instead of Life Orb to ensure Lucario gets a turn to set up Swords Dance (which'll give it enough power without LO).

Extrasensory is nice on Greninja, but with Protean, its not needed (since you can just change to another type to avoid a Fighting type weakness) and doesn't offer much for coverage. It has some nice options to replace Extrasensory with: Spikes, Grass Knot, Hidden Power Fire.

Dragonite should use Dragon Claw over Outrage. Dragon Claw is weaker, but with some DDances, it shouldn't be a problem. Outrage is too risky now with all the Fairies being used.

Blaziken doesn't need Poison Jab, as Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick do enough damage to Fairies, and cover what Poison Jab does. Swords Dance or Shadow Claw would be better, to boost its Attack, or to prevent Chandelure, Jellicent, etc from walling it.

Go with what Platinum Dude said for Snorlax and Scizor. Also, your team is very much physically inclined, which may pose a problem against physical walls.

I agree with what he said about walls so try teaching one of your pokemon brick break

If you do choose to teach one of your Pokemon Brick Break, make it either Lucario or Blaziken. Take advantage of STAB instead of putting it on one of your other Pokemon.

I believe zekrom was referring to physical walls also called physical tanks. I feel that you are referring to screens such as Reflect and Light Screen.

In a nutshell, a physical wall is a pokemon that has high defense stat and can resist a lot of the powerful moves that other pokemon can use. These pokemon can "wall" sweepers who would normally do a number on your team.

A good example of a Physical tank is Ferrothorn. It resists fighting and ground type moves and punishes physical mves that make contact because of its ability.

Also Blaziken is now banned so you are probs gonna want to replace that.
