So after playing a bit more with my existing army list, I've come to a hard, ugly conclusion. As far as tournaments go, a "static gunline" is simply not the way to go.
So my list is going through a bit of a paradigm shift, made with the mantra, "If you can't move AND shoot, you're OUT!"
While I haven't totally eliminated everything that can't move and shoot (staying still is simply how you have to play it with heavy weapons) I've minimized the static squads down to 2, with one of them being a devastator squad -- the other being a 5-man tac squad with a heavy bolter.
Granted, this is a rough draft list here, but it is an idea of my current line of thinking...
