Absol: don't give it special attacks. Put Psycho Cut in there. Consider Swords Dance and/or Sucker Punch. As for item, Scope Lens (for another critical boost if you're got Super Luck as the ability) or Life Orb. Naughty is a workable nature as it won't be lasting too long anyway, but its not the best one it could have.

Milotic: I don't feel like finding out if Safeguard+Rest works (one way or the other), but usually you'd see Sleep Talk alongside Rest. Hardy is a crap nature, get one that boosts its Defense, Special Defense, or even Special Attack while lowering Attack.

Crobat: I've seen one use Nasty Plot with Air Slash and such. That's something to consider. Hypnosis is also a possibility. If you go with the NP/AS combo, Modest would be a good nature, and Wise Glasses or Life Orb wouldn't be a bad bet.

Lucario: If you want to pull off a mixed Lucario set, Shadow Ball or Dark Pulse should replace Flash Cannon. Return should probably go as well. I'd recommend Close Combat, but you've already got Aura Sphere... oh! Consider putting in Close Combat over Return and Dragon Pulse over Aura Sphere. Life Orb or maybe a Choice Scarf as the item.

Salamence: again, crap nature. If you want to run a physical set, Fly has gotta go, as does Flamethrower. Dragon Dance should be in there, as does Earthquake. If you want to run a special set, then you'd want Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower and Hydro Pump with Choice Specs as the item.

As for a sixth member, you could use a wall, particularly a physical one. Unfortunately, putting Skarmory in gives you an Electric weakness (and 3 members of your team are already weak to either Electric or Ice as it is). I recommend Dusknoir, set up in the following manner:

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs in Defense, HP and Attack
-Will-o-wisp
-Pain Split
-Shadow Punch/Shadow Sneak/Payback
-Thunderpunch

If you don't know what EVs are, I guess you could ignore that part, but your team could greatly benefit if you did know what they were and how to implement them.

I can only help with 2 or 3 pokemon.

But to get Hydro Pump on Salamnce, you must breed it with a Gyradoes that knows Hydro Pump

[Skittleman]

Replace EQ on Lucario with either Psychic or Calm Mind, because its nature reduces the power of EQ.

[SuperSimon]

go with physical lucario

Lucario@choice band
stone edge
eq
closecombat
blazekick

[Skittleman]

Also if you will be using a Special Salamence, replace Dragon Claw with Dragon Pulse.

[gymclasshero66]

im not sure, and i know this will put a second dark move on him, but id try switching out SD for sucker punch to knock off weak sweepers. I guess you can switch it with night slash, but if you get stuck against a status inducing pokemon that you want to hit with a dark move, you'd want night slash. The absol you have is good, but think about sucker punch cause, in my mind its worth it to get a surprise KO.
