Well, there are a few things to consider when you're making a mechanized list.
1. If you want any mobility whatsoever for your veteran squads, then drop the heavy weapons teams. They will only reduce your mobility.
2. Veterans have BS:4. Don't put that to waste with a bunch of template weapons. That being said, a single heavy flamer accompanying two melta guns can be a viable combination.
3. Although your play-style will be fairly aggressive, you still want to be able to keep your enemies out of charging range. Some squads with two plasmas each (or three if you're feeling frivolous) will keep MEQ and TEQ at bay.
4. Assign each unit a specific role. The melta squad should be sent to pop some tanks open. A couple of plasma squads should be tasked with scaring away enemy infantry.
5. Think about your numbers. Being outnumbered by a mob of hungry Space Wolves is not a good thing. More bodies=more wounds=more survivability.
I hope that this was helpful. There are a bunch of tips that others with more experience could give you.
