I haven't played 40k in a while and I'm throwing this list together wondering how it will play out...

HQ:
- Dante (225)

Elites:
-5 Assault Termies: 2TH/SS, 3 LC, W/ Chap in term armor [340]
- LRC: w/mm [260] ---> (600)
-Furioso Dreadnought: w/ Grappling Arm [140]
- DP: w/ LB [45] ---> (185)

Troops:
-10 man Assault Squad: Sgt w/ pw (205)
-10 man Death Company: 5 w/ pw [275]
-LR: [250] ---> (525)


Total: 1740

*Dante will be attached with the 10 man assault squad
Not a lot of troops for objectives... oh well

I hate to tell you this, but this army will go horribly. With 5/6 game types objective based, you need more scoring units. One just won't cut it in 6th.

The normal suggestion (depending on how squishy your units are) is 1 scoring unit per 500pts + 1. So in a 500pts game that'd be 2 troops, in a 1500pts game, that'd be 4. In 1750, with 1 unit, it's going to get shot off the table leaving your opponent to take his time with the other threats and manoeuvre to score.

Oh and Dante strikes at initiative:1 now, so he's kind of useless.

Dante is totally not useless, he has 2+/4+ save and an AP2 weapon, makes sanguinaries troops and deep strike with no scatter.
Though for this list, you are not really using him for his strength, a Reclusiarch would be better with your Death Company.
And yea, you are quite short on scoring units, if you want to stick to Dante, I'd swap the termies, LRC and Furioso for some Sanguinary Guards with some Priests.
Get that Assault Squad some melta guns and get Dante a Honor Guard squad with 4 meltas so you can come in and blow up whatever vehicle that needs to die.

I'd say swap Dante for Reclusiarch to go with the DC, which you could drop a guy or two, and swap a couple of power weapons for a Fist (or savvy use of mixed power weapons!)

Although with both assault termies and DC both in Land raiders is eating up all your points for basic objective holding troops choices.

In fact, looking at this list again it seems to be based around 2 Land Raider based death stars, one non-FnP RAS and their pet Furisio.

tl;dr Less beatsticks, more scoring units.
