If you're new to the guard and looking for advice, he's the best you'll get. Don't listen to what people say about certain things being good/not good because you don't want this or that or that certain things are not competative or overcosted.
In my mind, the IG is the most customizable army out there and has the most surprising power iin the simplest things. For me, in my all footguard list, the best points investment to me are my stormtroopers, not just as a suicide tanks squad, but because they let me drop BS4 guys with 2 special weapons anywhere. When I run an "in your face" mixed force, I find that the Leman Russ punisher is the most usefull tank. I also like heavy weapon squads because that's one less thing shooting at my Chimera's or the heavy weapon squads get to shoot. I like flamers becuase they don't roll to hit and that kind of reliability is important with guardsmen. I also find the regular commissar is often, but not always more useful than a lord commissar because he let's you decide when combat will end; but the Lord commissar can be the most useful choice in the codex in the right place at the right time. Also, most important of all, massed lasgun fire is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal.
Seeing your list, my advice would be to look at what the regular commissar gives you instead of the lord. The lord let's you move the stubborn bubble around, but can be targeted, while the regular one will only die if too many wounds are done to your "blob" or YOU want combat to end. Also, your PCS has no speacial or heavy weapons.
