You could. Tactical squads aren't the best choice in the codex. Assault marines can get you more bang for their buck because of the reduced cost on a dedicated transport. What models do you have available to you?

If you are really set on having those DP Dreads, the easiest fix would be to take away one razorback and give them a drop pod. Now you have 3 DPs and both Dreads can come down turn 1 increasing survival. If you can scout move both Baals into their territory you now have 4 immediate threats that your opponent has to deal with.

Also, IP on your assault squads aren't the best use of points in a 1500 limit. With the 35 pts you are saving (assuming you give an assault squad a DP instead of a razor) you could drop the pistols and upgrade them powerfists. However, if you have already modeled them with IPs, they aren't terrible so you should still be ok.

Why does your libby cost 150? If you gave him the epistolary upgrade, I would drop it and spend your pts elsewhere. Maybe a few extra bodies for that DP assault squad would be a good idea.
