Your list looks fun to play, but have you ever researched the old 7/10 decks of the past. I also believe that there was a deck named cerebral assassin that had a similar draw engine to your deck.
You could also research some of the old Italian madness decks.
I admit, Cerebral Assassin was the first thing I thought of when I saw this deck. I considered posting, but that's really taking the whole thing in a different direction. That deck was really based on filling up the yard with Bazaar of Baghdad and then acting like a Reanimator deck. It could even kill with Worldgorger Dragon if necessary.
The question you have to ask there, and with this deck also, is how it's better than the established decks that rely on Bazaar, namely Ubastax and Dragon. Cerebral Assassin doesn't have a lot going over those decks, which I think is why it has mostly faded out. It gets hosed by things like Pithing Needle and Tormod's Crypt just like Dragon does, only it can't win as quickly. This deck would also have to convince me that it overcomes the vulnerabilities and splash damage of using known engine pieces toward a new strategy.
On this front, I would tend to agree with the assertion that you need to go to full artifact mana in order to facilitate your 1C drops. This would also allow you to test Mana Leak and/or Rune Snare, which I agree are worth a look. In general, you need, as you say, to pick a plan and go with it. My suggestions at this point:
1. Cut white.
2. Fill out your Mox base.
3. Add some artifact fat to the maindeck. I'd suggest starting with 2 Triskelion, 1 Duplicant, and 1 Sundering Titan.
I think that some more testing after that will put you on a good track for some streamlining the deck.
