Amoonguss and Quagsire are my defensive Pokemon.
In my last battle I swept three Pokemon with Absol, I think it's just fine.
Your Absol isn't the best:

Absol @ Life Orb
Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
-Sucker Punch
-Fire Blast
-Superpower
-Night Slash

Please stop using Psycho Cut, it can't OHKO the majority of Fighting types while they OHKO back. Absol is too frail to set up SD, and Fire Blast hits Sceptile, Galvantula, Gallade, Steelix and especially Tangrowth, who is very weak on the Special Side.
For Durant, either go Leftovers, or Life Orb. I highly suggest Leftovers. For Amoonguss, go for Black Sludge, Lilligant needs Lefties > Life Orb, Escavalier set:

Escavalier (M)@Choice Band
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Megahorn
-Iron Head
-Pursuit
-Return
Your Fire weakness is so big...

Absol

Absol is pretty good, this is the set I use in NU, except I have Megahorn instead of Psycho Cut. Both are great choices, though. BUT it got moved up, so now I can't use it in NU. Great. So anyway, Swords Dance isn't needed as Life Orb, plus EV's and Nature cover that. YOu won't be always able to set up, anyway. Have Fire Blast (I know, it's special, but Tangrowth and other grass types will be surprised to find out that you carry Fire Blast. At least until it gets popular) Pursuit would be an alternative option.

Escavalier

Escavalier is a pretty good offensive Pokemon, but give it defensive and your opponent just might Rage Quit :P 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD is the EV spread you should run for Def. Megahorn and Iron Head are the two moves, and then for the stall you can have Toxic, Protect/Rest and if you have Rest then put in a Chesto Berry or a Lum Berry (recommended Chesto) for some free healing.
____

Quagsire

Physical attacking set with the defensive EV's? To be honest not the best combo you can have. Stockpile Quagsire works like Gastrodon in RU, the Stockpile makes it invinsible basically to anything except Toxic. Anyway, here is a Stockpile set that you should consider:
Quagsire @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Relaxed (+Def, -Spe)
- Scald
- Stockpile
- Recover
- Toxic

This set work's like a pro, Toxic'ing the opponent and then Stockpileing, (or the other way around) and just stall with Scald and Recover.

Lilligant

You already have a huge Fire Weakness, and Lilligant is a burden, since it's set totally depends on Sleep Powder hitting, also the fact that you need more than one Quiver dance to usually OHKO a nuetral Pokemon. I'll replace this for a spinner, since during our battle you could see how my hazards totally demolished your team. (First battle without hazards: 1-0. Second battle with hazards: 5-0) I'll put Kabutops on here, I've used it, and along with Rapid Spin, if it can set up Swords Dance it can sweep whole entire teams. \
Kabutops @ Life Orb
Trait: Weak Armor
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) or Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
- Rapid Spin
- Swords dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge

What makes this so dangerous is the fact that Weak Armor raises speed. Once it raises it, Kabutops can almost outspeed anyone that's not boosted. Swords Dance paired with Life Orb is pure power. This set can also take Flare Blitz from Entei, even though it's resisted it only does about a third.
__

Amoongus

While Quagsire can be your Defensive wall, Amoongus is your Special Defensive wall. Your set isn't abusing it's amazing Special Defense, but actually going for a Defensive Special Attacker. Anyway, 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Def is your EV spread. Calm Nature. Sludge Bomb for HP Fire, and Clear Smog is fine, getting rid of Poke's that try to set up. Other than that, this set is good to go!
___

Durant

To this set I don't have many suggestions, just to change the EV spread so it's a little more offensive. 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe with Jolly is good, IMO.
____
This team now looks solid, just keep in mind when you're battling: Fire is still a potential threat to your team, only Quagsire and Kabutops can resist it. Other than that, this team is ready for some wins.
Hope these suggestions helped you, and good luck with your team!
