I really wouldn't plan on keeping Miltank out on one of them anyways. Blastoise deals with all of them really well.
I like T-wave on her to ensure that I cripple sweepers and Body Slam is to hopefully get some paralysis on a steel switch in. Return does sound like a good option and I'll try that out on shoddy.
With Hitmonlee I went with Rock Slide for the accuracy. I know that contradicts Hi Jump Kick but I have thought rather long about both moves and decided that the benefits of them out weigh the alternative. Personally I have terrible luck with Stone Edge and I'd rather have a move that hits instead of missing and not doing any damage. I have also tested Close Combat on Hitmonlee and the defense drop has cost me on several occasions.
I hadn't thought about Haze or Roar on Blastoise. So I'll test that out soon.
Thanks for the tips, but I was looking more for ways to solve problems like being walled by bulky water types. I have given a lot of thought to the moves and pokemon I chose. I was hoping for people to point out overall weaknesses in the team, not knit-pick my movesets.

Mawile? A threat? I lol'd.
Hitmonlee's defense drop from Close Combat is just a risk most people take, as is Stone Edge's accuracy. You'd be better off with Brick Break and Body Slam on Miltank and Close Combat and Stone Edge on Hitmonlee.
You might want a counter for Hypno/Grumpig, as most UU teams have one.
