If you're raiding Raikou with large groups and only getting 1 or 2 damage ball bonus, lead with the Dragonites as they do slightly more DPS than Rhydon, it could be the difference between an extra ball. I aim to get at least 2 Outrages off before fainting for each Dragonite, though mine are only level 30, you could probably get 3 reliably.
Then follow up with the 2 Rhydons. In my experience that's all I needed since the group I was raiding in usually had around 7-10 players.
If you still need more Pokemon, I'd swap out the KC/S Machamp but keep the C/DP, the DPS is just too low. Any of your Golems would be better. Stone Edge has more DPS, but Rock Blast is better if you're using it near the end of the raid, in case you don't have enough energy for Stone Edge.
So if survivability isn't an issue, lead with 2 Dragonites, then 2 Rhydons, then C/DP Machamp and Rock Blast Golem, or Stone Edge Golem then C/DP Machamp.
If you're minimising group size so that you can all get +3 damage bonus, probably better to only bring Golems and Rhydons so that you can last the whole raid and not have to lose time rejoining and reselecting your team.
The rock Golems won't be as good as ground ones but if you're doing the raid with as few people as possible, the raid probably will last at least 270 seconds, so you should still be able to get the full damage bonus anyway, and save yourself some dust.
Raikou over here too. At first I was using a mix of Dragonites and Rhydons but now I stick with 4 Rhydons and 2 Golems.
Even if I'm not a big fan of Rhydon, he resists pretty well and can throw at least 2 or 3 earthquake without dodging before he feints. That was clearly not the case with Dragonite, especially against a WC Raikou.
