Since you're doing a 4-day split, why don't you try the following...
Monday - Back and rear delts
Tuesday - Shoulders (and traps) and triceps
Wednesday - Rest (cardio)
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Chest and biceps (and forearms)
Saturday - Rest (cardio)
Sunday - Rest
You've got 7 sets of bench, which is unnecessary and overkill. Stick with 3 sets for each exercise, and aim for 4-10 reps.
For chest: flat, incline, flyes, and dips or decline.
For triceps: close-grip bench or weighted dips, skullcrushers, cable pushdowns (I only do 2 exercises for tris)
For legs: squats, leg press, extensions, leg curls, standing and seated calf raise.
For back: DEADLIFT, bent-over barbell rows, wide-grip chins, close-grip pulldowns
For biceps: Barbell curls, alt. dumbbell curls, hammer curls (I only do 2)
For shoulders: Reverse flyes, Military press/dumbbell press, lateral raises

I like that workout... looks good... But would it hurt to not have 2 rest days in a row? I like going 2 on 1 off... I dont mind what days my workouts fall on so Is that overtraining?

This looks good to me!
On the day 4 you might take a day off to give your legs more rest, if they are still in a bit pain, it will affect any deadlift, d-bell rows or bent over rows, which are in my opinion a must do exercises for your back.
The delts/trap day might really be affected since you did your back day before. I would suggest doing traps on the same day as your back.
Also, two days off after delts/traps day.
If you plan on changing your routine, then Hamish's example of routine should definitely give you a nice start. Then modify as needed.
Good luck.
