You re team is not bad at all however i would change the sets a bit a 4 attacks chomp works better with choice scarf rather then life orb since a life orb set can be easly play around and more often then not you will lose HP on chomp due to life orb without geting much done also haveing 2 life orb users on the same team is overkill since this team is not HO and more oriented towrds balance since you do have a strong deffensive core it would be unwise to have to life orb users not to mention scarf chomp offers great speed countrol something you re team lacks a bit and only speed control coimeing form infranpe being naturealy fast but that alone won t be enough most of the time

 

Regarding infarnape i would swap thunder punch for u-turn , that way you have 3 mons with mometum moves those being scizor , rotom and now infanrape with so much momentum you get more opportunities to get scarf chomp or scizor on the field and force progress also again life orb dosen t work that great in this type of balance team since it does limit the potentil to play for the long game so alternatively you can opt for a boosting item on infarnpe like black belt or charcoal  , not only will this change increase the longevity of infarnpe but also won t give away the item on infarnape and this can make you re opponets think you are choice lock

 

Since the only way to remove hazzards with this team is starmie rapid spin a bulky starmie would fit a lot better and i would swap psyshock for recover
