On the low FET, the 10k pullup to 12V to turn it on is way too high - not sure if this would effect the high side FET but it will create problems of its own. I'd start with 100 ohms but be prepared to drop it if you need fast turn for PWM frequencies greater than a kHz or so. Possibly even lower. What frequency are you testing at? you could be getting all sorts of miller capacitance effects with the higher impedances in the circuit (upper and lower FETs). Make sure you have good decoulpling on your "+V" line also - as close as reasonable to the FETs.
