Your creatures and some spells cost too much mana IMHO. You could add Zombie Trailblazer to get more "turn into swamp"-options and some other cheap zombie with built-in evasion (fear, flying), like Bog Raiders, Stormgald Crusader, Severed Legion, Stillmon Cavalier or whatever. With even more zombies you could add Zombie Master, who gives swampwalk to all zombies. And to speed things up you could swap Loxodon Warhammer for Vampiric Link, if you build on evasion anyway.

I've seen something like that using Mesmeric Orb to mill opponent and own library to either kill him with Ire or, well, milling. Aphetto Alchemist + Mesmeric Orb is a nice combo for that purpose.
Well, there are ways to stop the landwalk abilities but it is not very likely you will see them. But fist you need to draw Urborg and a Zombie Master and both have to stay in play. Cover of Darkness increases chances of getting through unhindered. Deathtouch from Death Baron seems a nice addition but I don't think it is a must have.
Mana burn is loss of life and not damage. That's a difference.
Too many cards, I'd take out some creatures and maybe trade the Bonesplitters for Unholy Strength. Please take a look at my Dauthi deck.
To "copy" Donate I'd propose Puca's Mischief. Might even give you some control.
Randoryman already gave some useful hints about deck building. In this special case I would get rid of Rag Dealer. Unless your opponent pulls some graveyard tricks it's useless. Dripping Dead and Dross Crocdile are quite expensive to cast and will die when blocked by some cheap 1/1 creature. My first deck was mono black too and I built it around creatures with fear and spells that reduce opponent's life while adding to mine.
Other nice cards are Stonehewer Giant, Veteran Armorer, Leonin Shikari and Maybe Oathsworn Giant. Bonesplitter is a nice and cheap equip, too.
Maybe drop the Golem-Skin Gauntlets. Umezawa's Jitte and Lightning Greaves are always nice to have. You might also try Grafted Wargear or Vulshok Morningstar.
I think I'm going to love that. =D
Yeah, I discovered it all by myself. In fact I haven't seen or heard of pestilence decks. :P Thanks for your advice.
Yeah, Korlash is nice but since he doesn't have shadow he has to face all of opponents creatures alone (as long he/she doesn't play shadow creatures as well). Don't think that will add much to the deck. Sure, could put in Dauthi Embrace oder Dauthi Trapper to give him shadow but that's too much cards to tweak with.
Carnophage and Soultether Golem are the weakest. Overall, if you don't manage to get the Eon Hub quickly then you get in trouble because all of your creatures need to be payed during upkeep or fade away. Same for enchantments. Maybe add some artifact creatures without upkeep costs.
I'm not sure, if Darksteel Reactor adds much to the deck. Instead I'd focus on getting the suspended cards faster with Clockspinning, Jhoira's Timebug and maybe Walk the Aeons. Could also throw in Ancestral Vision for card draw.
Just came to my mind that you could replace some Vivids with Gemstone Mine
Nah, I'd prefer Nightmare Lash over Door of destinies beause a ) by the time you get your door (except with ritual) you should already be winning b) door will build up slowly. Usually don't have much Dauthi on the table. c) Nightmare Lash gives you an immediate boost of at least +4/+4 (except when payed with ritual, of course).
Imho, if you play Dauthi you have to be faster. Please comment on my Dauthi deck.
