2 10 men Tactical Squads are definitely not going to cut it for troops in 2.5k it'll be far too easy to torrent them to death.

If you're taking tactical terminators I would reccomend the cyclone over the heavy flamer as it means you'll actually get to shoot them at something (unless they're deep-striking), also maybe throw in a chainfist or two.
You also need more drop pods, having only 2 means you're going to drop one ironclad in first turn due to drop pod assault (which will be melta'd/destroyed fairly swiftly I imagine), with the other one hanging around in reserve. Running 3 MM/HF dreadnoughts in drop-pods would probably be much more reliable. You could take a locator beacon on one (or more) of the pods and deep strike the terminators (meaning you could take assault terminators because they will be in your opponents face.

I also think riflemen ven dreads aren't worth it, due to the autocannons being twin-linked you should be getting 3/4 hits a turn anyway.

I think my core would probably be something like this,

Vulkan 190
MotF 100

Tac (combi-melta, melta, multi-melta) + rhino 220

Swap in flamers for meltas as you want. Vulcan & MotF need a ride though so you could go for full drop pods (and maybe another locator beacon or two) and some MM/HF speeders to deep-strike them for a very in your face list.
