Greetings, WFB player here, had my first taste of 40k and loved it. I decided to go with AS because I always liked the models and I'm afraid that GW will move them all to FInecast Q2 next year. Besides, no one that's into 40k I know plays AS I'd be the only AS player in my city. Would such a list work for competitive play and tournaments? It doesnt have to be awesome, just decent and give me a chance to win something.

Should I stick with 2xFlamers or go for one Heavy Flamer? Drop one Dominion squad for a third Exorcist? Thanks for help!

You should try and sneak in a 3rd exorcist, drop the hailers, and 2 normal flamers are ok to save points.

You can toss the melta bombs and the superior from the seraphs, perhaps combi meltas or plasmas on on the dominion superiors.

Thing is I took the 6th sister and hailers because I had too many loose points to spend. Not enough for a new squad so I took some additional stuff for other squads including the melta bombs for the seraph superior.
To get a third Exorcist I'd have to drop one squad of sisters or one dominion squad, kinda want to keep the Seraphs as they with Celestine can be nasty. Dropping dominions can be a waste, scouts with meltas ignoring covers? Yes please! So the only option would be to drop one squad of sisters but then I'm light on troops. Unless I go for two big Sister blobs with priests for objective camping, 3 Exorcists, Seraphs and keep 2 Dominions. Then again I really like the mobile theme with twin linked melta Immolators.

So I fixed my Sisters list. I think I'll be going for this as its easy to expand to 1850 and seems decent:
