trying to reconcile the need for 2 las princes and 6+ oblits with the need for more troops in 5th edition. Don't know how this list will do hence putting it up here for critique.

Total: 1647. I have 103 points left over, and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. The idea would be for everyone to advance together, lashing units into kill zones for the TKsons, Noise Marines and the obliterators as needed.

Alternately, I could drop the one of the noise marine squads for 8 plague marines with 2 plasma and a fist. This would still leave me with 75 points for an obliterator or 2 rhinos.

Well, if you don't have a champion in your NM squads, add another sonic blaster in each for starters.

well, I actually left the slot open in case adding a champ w/doom siren and a power weapon turned out to be a good option.

Also, what are people's opinions on simply dropping one of the DPs for for more troops/shooting whatever? I know that Lash DPs are stupid good but has anyone tried simply using one and maximizing shootier elements of the army?

I'd replace one of those lash princes with a Tzeench prince to suit your troops. A Slaanshi prince and a Tzeenchian prince joining their forces makes more sense than some 1K sons joining a Slaaneshi warband for the heck of it.

i'd drop the blastmasters, pick up 2 extra sonic blasters for the noise marines, and with the additional points pick up more basic marines with plasmaguns

basically this is what i'm going for to make the list better, as you already have enough anti tank with the obliterators
