Re: Backbreakers.
There doesn't seem to really be a lead. You have no Pokemon to start off the match with. If you're thinking about using Nidoking as a lead, don't. Pretty much any lead will blow right through that, and some will possibly from there proceed to destroy the rest of the team.
Salamence weak. DDMence will set up, and then kill basically everything. Empoleon and TTar with Earthquake. Outspeeds and OHKO'es your Mence and Gallade with Dragon Claw. Kills off Steelix with Fire Blast. Nidoking dies to almost anything from it.
You're also MixApe weak. Empoleon and Tyranitar die to Close Combat, Steelix dies to Flamethrower, Salamence and Nidoking die to Hidden Power Ice, and Gallade dies to Earthquake.
Also, there doesn't seem to be much synergy to the team, or an all-around goal. You have no "main" sweeper, and it basically seems that you brought together a bunch of Pokemon and called it a team. A good team should have a goal of what to do, synergy between the sweepers and leads and such, and all-around, should be a team. The Pokemon should work together to win the battle, like a basketball team. The members of the team may dribble around and shoot some, but a lot of the good scoring comes after a pass.

Re: Backbreakers.
Like Nidoking (don't use him as a lead though)
Gallade's nature is Careful
Gallade has EV being put down for defense
Salamence's nature is Mild with Earthquake and Brick Break
Steelix might work out. Might.
Like Tyranitar
Nice Empoleon.. hmmm
Your team has too many weaknesses. Most of them are weak to ground.
You say Nidoking is a physical and special sweeper, but all I see is special.
Gallade could be an anti-lead, but you need to redo his set for that.
Steelix might be fine. I am not sure on this, but... Might.. I would just replace this guy though. For Shuckle (you'll see why in the Overall)
Salamence is said to be a mix sweeper, but his nature contradicts that.
Salamence would be better off having 2 Special Attacks and only 1 Physical.
Tyranitar seems fine.
Empoleon seems fine.
Overall: I'm seeing a sandstorm team in the making. Tyranitar as the lead. You'll be surprise what Shuckle could do in a Sandstorm team and with his sp defense being raised by 50% is a great bonus. Try to get Gliscor in the team if you were trying for a Sandstorm theme. Get some Pokemon to cover your weaknesses and you're set. (In this case, Gallade is replaceable)
Edit: I see how Salamence is a mix sweeper. EV and mild is being put down for SP Atk, while Salamence is already a fine Physical attacker as it is.

Not both. They have roughly the same coverage (Brick Break hits Darks and Earthquake hits Poison. Earthquake hits Heatran better, Brick Break hits Tyranitar, Brick Break hits most Flying-types, Earthquake hits most Ghosts). Give it Hydro Pump as not many people expect it. Hang on, you don't have Fire Blast/Flamethrower, use a Fire move.

I agree, replace Earthquake with Fire Blast/Flamethrower. You'll need more SP Atk, cause of the stuff being invested to it also.
