I would say your main problem vs a shooty list would be lack of speed.
A bloodstoker + WOK thirster combo can let you slingshot a unit in melee turn 1. I had some success with that vs SE with giant blobs of bloodletter. Was in a 3000 pts game so way heavier combo game.
Seems like you could also do with attention seekers. My last tournament list had 2 thirsters in it IR and WOK. If you play skarbrand, your opponent will have to focus everything he has on him or he is dead.
