The tactics behind the list essentially amounts to this:
The Tanks will form a wall to protect the suits, which will then jump out and fry things.
Whatever the suits don't mop up will get shot by the Tanks.
Sky ray and Pathfinders work to bring down THE thing that has to die in a spectacular alpha strike. If I don't have a target, seeker missiles will fly out to kill anything worth targeting, such as stray Tyranid Warriors, Zoanthropes, Crisis Suits, Raiders.

So, in my gaming circle, we have a Tyranid Player, another Tau player, a Dark Eldar player, and a Black Templar/Blood Angel player.
The Tyranid Player brings a semi-horde list backed up by lots of special Monsters, and three Biovores, hence my hesitance to bring anything on foot.
The Dark Eldar player focuses on getting into HtH as fast as possible, completely neglecting any and all ranged options, and the other Tau player uses a massive 48 FW gunline, backed up by twin broadsides. I'm not worried about these two.
What worries me, however, is the Black Templar/ Blood Angel player. He constantly fields a Landraider Crusader, two terminator squads at 5 men each, a predator, and two dreadnoughts in drop pods. He'll bring Land Speeders and more tactical squads to taste, and charge me. I just can't kill those TH/SS terminators fast enough (that save irritates me).

So, how would I change this list to deal with these armies? (Note that I only own 7 Crisis suits, 12 Firewarriors, 6 Pathfinders, two devilfish, a skyray/hammerhead, a hammerhead, 14 Drones, and 12 Kroot.)

with what you have, you cant change the list to make it better. what i would normally take against these armies is a fully mech list followed up with crisis and broad sides.

For starters, you're 7 points over.

My second reaction is that you have spent a huge amount of points on upgrades you may or may not use. There are VERY few bodies in the list. I would think about strengthening up on troops before anything else.

This is my recomendation, it uses one more Crisis suit than you have. I would recomend picking it up when you can.
Your collection is a bit small for 1500pts imo. You may find you have some trouble until you get some more minis.
