I would run physically defense rotom,take out HP ice and put in WoW.Physically defensive rotom counters a good amount of threats in the meta including:
Talonflame
Tyranitar
Any physical threat ever(just some advice,dont try to wow KyuB,it is faster and its most common set runs sub to take advantage that you are the most used thing in the meta)
 
I definetely do see Greninja being a threat, because only one of your Pokemon resists Dark, and that is easily taken out by Protean Life Orb Ice Beam. Of course you have Mega-Pinsir to try and force it out with QA, but unboosted QA wont even kill, unless theres a decent amount of prior damage

252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Quick Attack vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Greninja: 148-175 (51.7 - 61.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Similarly, all your teammates are weak to Kyurem-B.

IMO, I would try Scarfed Jirachi with Healing Wish, so you can basically smash the opponents team early game with Mega Pinsir, let it get crippled, and then restore its health back with Healing Wish after all its counters are gone. Also gives you a revenge killer.

Set

Jiarchi@ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace

Jolly Nature
-Iron Head
-Ice Punch
-U-Turn
-Healing Wish

In turn, try changing Heatran to a Specially Defensive Set, so you can have a good Stealth Rock user.
