"I have been trying to find a DE list that offered an all comers feel. The problem with Venom Spam I noticed was that while you had a crazy amount of firepower, it did not always translate to being the hammer to people rock. I decided that perhaps using Wyches as Tarpits in slowing down units too hard to hammer down. I have a friend here who plays with Wyches in Raiders and they really are stellar performers with anything they hit in CC. I do like having some Disintegrators in the list because it offers some variety and I do like having some more AP2 shots for infantry. While I do believe more Lances equals better, I just don't believe in 1 shot vehicles. The crucible of malediction is for the GK hotness and at least a nice upgrade versus some more psyker enhanced armies. The Scattershard is a 1 shot wonder to snipe a lot of annoying characters.

You've essentially traded the Beastmasters for Wyches and lost some Venoms at the same time compared to a Venom spam list. Hmmm...in fact adding it up I think you're under the 2000 points...let's do the math quickly in order; 150+100+35+12*12+12*15+65*3+96+60+20+90+20+60+20+90+60+20+125+125+125*3 = 1865; perhaps you missed putting in another Venom Warrior squad?
Anyway a solid list if you intend for the Wyches to be tarpits though I would give them a shardnet each and give the Hekatrix a Venom Blade over a power weapon. I would also take every disintegrator on the Raider and turn them into a Dark Lance. One shot (even at BS4) tanks are annoying but they aren't your main offensive firepower, they supplement your Blasters and Ravagers and because you've generally got several of them, overcome this through weight of numbers. Three extra lances may not seem like much but it would help the list greatly. The Ravagers also don't really need flickerfields as all the tanks in front of them should be providing them cover but if you have the points spare it's a fine upgrade and gives them flexibility in terms of mobility.
Other than that I would look for ways to get the Beastmasters back in as I think the increased combat punch they provide is better than the tarpit nature of the Wyches but that's a personal preference. Having both of them though would give a very significant presence in combat but would also alter the list playstyle (obviously).
