What would you guy say the optimal load out for a WE Contemptor Dreadnought be ? I want to take advantage of the sale.

Ideally this would be a competitive thing.

Not sure about competitive, but depends on what role you need filled. Do you need more range or more Melee in your list?

Well, you want it in melee to eat, heal, and make use of the better invulnerable. So it will be on the move constantly. Double claw and double ectoplasma blaster seems good - melee focused with good ranged shooting that won't degrade. Soulburner is assault as well.

Of course with BS2 shooting on the move isn't a huge burden so any of the guns bar C-Beam will work. It just depends what role you need to fill.

Butcher cannon would be great to soften up targets before a Berzerker charge, but be wary of increasing charge range.
Twin autocannon is a decent all comers weapon, but offers little over the Butcher other than point savings.

The other weapons I wouldn't bother much with unless you have a specific need for them.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking double chainclaw. -4 AP and a flat 4 damage seems pretty good for 5 extra points.

Chainclaw is a bargain! Take two and you'll be hitting 6 times on the charge, hitting on 2s. Tasty.
