Any advice would be welcome.

I like this list a lot. I swear it shouldn't all fit.
It cries out for a juggernaut mount for the Herald but kinda agree there is nothing to drop.

Well he can deepstrike, so I have some mobility.

My issue is with the secondary detachment, how useful are 2 heralds and a pink horror unit? Should I swap them for something for aggressive and tactical ?

I am affraid I am with you; if you are going to do the murderhorde do it right, that means no extra detachments for WC farming.

In order to do the muderhorde right there are two things you need that you don't have now:
Karanak, instead of furies, to put in the Herald's unit in order to give them rage.
The Crimson Crown on your Herald for +1A on all your dogs.

Then pump your primary dog unit up with more hounds so your Herald or Karanak isn't taken out too easily. You should be left with 6A on the charge each for your primary dog unit, your Herald getting 7 at ap2.

I think you'd be fine dropping one Herald and adding a juggernaut and a few more hounds into one unit

Putting all my points into 1 unit means if I face a hard counter, I loose. A second detachment is there for flexibility, the only question is what should I put in it?

I've been contemplating adding the first curse in there for knight and Eldar counters but then having the Daemon cad gives me an ignorable unit that can obsec corrupted objectives.
