Tier-Shift rain team

I have been trying out the new meta of month tiershift: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3479358
I wanted to try out a rain team and i could use some rating and help on it.
I seem to have a main weakness to fighting and dont have any physical attackers, so any suggestions?

I'd keep Ferro. It actually becomes a good wall with Eviolite. Also, you got a Rain Team and no Swift Swimmers. I suggest getting rid of one of your electric types and put in Kabutops.

-Stone Edge
-Waterfall
