RMT: 5th Gen Hailstall

So I'm not sure how viable hail stalling is going to be, but I put together a team based on some 4th gen ideas. Beartic is probably my weakest link, but dammit I like him. Everything is put together on the basis of Abomasnow leading, and other walls stalling while hail, SR, etc. do their thing. Taking any and all suggestions, and thanks.

IMO, Walrein is completely outclassed by Regice at stalling.
Walrein is more physically-defensive, with 110 HP and 90 defense versus Regice's 80 HP and 100 defense. Walrein also doesn't have a weakness to Bullet Punch or Fire-type attacks, unlike Regice, both of which could spell doom for a Hail team.
 
You could, however, consider substituting Beartic for Cloyster. Gliscor covers it's Electric- and Fighting-weakness, and Abomasnow covers it's Grass-weakness. It can boost with Shell Smash and can wreak havoc with the help from Hail between turns. Beartic is cool, and its ability and Brightpowder are neat together, but he's relatively slow, and I think his set is too vulnerable to priority and reliant on luck to succeed.
 
Add descriptions please, something along the lines of 2-3 sentences per pokemon. Otherwise it might get locked by a mod.

Teamwise Beartic is outclassed by Mamoswine. Both even have Snow Cloak but Mamoswine gets higher speed I think, along with Ice Shard for priority.
