I run a similar list, 2 winged DPs, 10 Termies, 3x8 Noise Marines, 6 Obliterators. 
LOL you don't think your over doing it a bit on the Obliterators?? I mean they are point for point the best Heavy support choice in the game but still thats a bit of over kill don't ya think?
For a competetive army no, 6 is about right (and according to some, 6 is the minimum  ). Some even play 9 Oblits. They do this or the exact reason you stated, they're the best HS option available and they synergize extremely well with Lash (well, just aobut everything does its ludacris). Other really cool things with Lash are Vindicators and Defilers since yo ucan use lash to bunch the opposing unit together, then drop pie plates on them after.
I've been experimenting with a lot of lists as well lately, and I will most likely be building something Dual Lash for my next army (I'm looking at Plague Marines, Termies and Oblits though).

Fair enough my mind set is towards an assault based list though and if my oblits take ou my opponent before I get to charge them I am gonna be sad thus only 3 in my list plus with the test games I have done with this list no one shoots at the oblits they are far too concerned with the termies and DP's in their face tearing stuff up so my obs are free to loot and pillage my opponents army it is kind of funny.
but yes if you are going fo sheer kill power 6-9 is about right that many plasma cannons on 2-4 units you lashed together will devestate them.

If you go for an assault based CSM army, then take 2x2 Obliterators. They are able to silence guns from tanks while your assaulty army advances towards the enemy.

I play a world Eaters Chaos army and have a very good record.
Only having lost 1 game.
Mass up on Khorne beserkers in rhinos and watch your opponents Face as you zoom up 12" deploy out 2" run d6" and then be ready to charge with 40+ beserkers turn 2.

Well, plain and simple. But it won't work against a very mobile army.
