I'll try to stick to your original design, but I would consider adding at least 2 Goblin Bombardments. That way you have multiple ways of winning if your Fireballs get countered.
In order to do this, remove the Triassic Egg and the Dragon Engine. Seeing that your deck could be in a jam if it does encounter counter-heavy decks, you may want to run a few Abeyances. Maybe for the Righteous Aura, and Meekstone, since you should be able to have a few blockers already that can hold of an early assault.
Take out the Skull of Orm, one Feldon's Cane (It's restricted I think), and the Rocket Launchers for Swords to Plowshares (Just in case).
You could lose the Roterothopters for Phyrexian Walkers (Visions 0CC artcreature 0/3). Remove the Energy storms for 1 more Walker, and another Alabaster Potion.
Remove Shield of the Ages and Arenson's Aura for 2 more Ornithopters.
In the sideboard you chould pack some Pyro/RE Blasts, because against a counter deck, this could be eaten for lunch if the Fireballs get countered.
Hope I helped,
