I'm not an expert but a couple of points I'd make: Take a few death company marines out of each squad and try and add some more fists/mauls/swords in. The squad that arnt in the raven probably need jump packs as well. I'd probably drop the extra armour and dozer blade on the razorback as well. Then personal preference is against hurricane bolter's they just feel like a bit of a waste of points. The librarian is also pretty expensive, I'd consider making him a bit cheaper or swapping for a chaplain to join your death company. Again it's all personal preference though.

Hurricane bolters are NOT a waste on the stormraven. They are mobile and have enough shots to clear off obj holders quite well.

Keep dozer blades, but change it to a Rhino so the Heavy flamer can fire overwatch.

Double your number of powerfists, and change the HQ to something else, as a single libby is not useful.
