as other have said, the dread is a bit too much of a loose cannon. (quite litterally too!
) maybe swap him out for a defiler; bigger bang, no mistakes and still just as 'urty as an assaulty dread.
i'd also swap the sorcerer for a plain old chaos lord in termie armour w/twin lightning claws. good & killy for cheap!
just keep in mind too that you always want to pair-up your special weapons in each squad... so for example, instead of say 2 squad both w/melta + plasma gun, take 1 squad w/2 plasmas and the other with 2 meltas. it simply helps ensure that you don't waste shots and that each squad becomes that much better at the role you've asigned it!
you might also want to consider a rhino or two so that you can quickly either get onto objectives, or else plug and gaps in your advance...
some termies are also mandetory! they're also great candidates for the reaper autocannon to give you some nice mobile transport/light armour killing ability...
also don't overlook the idea of including a pack or 3 of summoned lesser daemons. sure they're not quite as good as the previous daemons, but they're a fraction of the pts cost compared to a plague marine, and are great for simply tar-pitting a unit or two while your plague marines take care of other more pressing targets!
cheers!
