I think it works pretty well this way. Have you decided how you are going to fill out your sideboard yet?

OK. Went Mono black. Finally Gave in and added Gibbering decent. Its drawback is too easy to abuse and more often then not I'll be ignoring it. I know it doesn't work with Squee but I should be able to manipulate it.
I may or may not add another titan. I am currently toying with the idea of dropping Green altogether and dropping the land count by a further 3.
Added the Grave Titan and Calls. Cut the Sign in Bloods altogether, I never did anything but discard them anyway. I think the deck is a bit more consistent now.
It could be used instead of something with proliferate (perhaps the contagion clasps) but I don't think it helps out much since you will pretty much have to attack with it first,
I am going to print proxies and play test this sometime this weekend/coming up week. I'll keep big game hunter in until then though I may replace the Nether Spirits with the SiB's now (will decree overall cost for me too since they are cheaper and I already have 3).
I completely agree. I think you should only take it out if you find a different way to speed up the deck. After thinking about it, I would put Utopia Mycons over Thallids (Keeps the visual aesthetic for you too) you can use those to help get out a few of your more expensive spells a turn or two earlier.
The Utopia Mycon would be good instead of the Mycoloth if you feel you need to improve your mana ratio or instead of Thallid since you can use it for the exact same reason. But I'd say adding it just for Genisis wave will slow your clock.
I do have a Grave Titan already. The mana cost might be a bit steep for the deck though (maybe not though it adds a lot for what it costs). I originally was running Call to the Netherworld but I didn't feel it had enough utility. Some play-testing might change my mind on that, so I will keep it in mind. Sign in blood is already high on my list of cards to go in. It is a definite contender to replace the Nether Spirits. How does removing the Big Game Hunters for a Grave Titan and an Ascendant Evincar and replacing the Spirits with the Sign in Bloods?
Maybe Tomb Stalker.
Oh I am working on a deck that produces a lot of Zombie tokens, Mind taking a look at it? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=129976
The thrones can be sac'ed to itself which gives you at worst 2 mana to proliferate as a sorcery. plus you can use the artifacts or the contagion clasps (which is of course an artifact) to draw it out a bit. I was looking for a card that gives all creatures infect (which could be potentially devastating with this deck) but it does not exist as of yet.
If it were up to me I'd cut Genesis wave no matter what. You don't run any acceleration so using it will almost always be too little too late for it to be of any use.
if not using doubling season I would probably do this - 3 Doubling Season - 4 Sprout - 2 Genesis Wave (I personally think it's too expensive to use but I my meta is very fast) - 4 Tukatongue Thallid + 4 Thallid + 1 Contagion Clasp + 4 Throne of Geth + 4 Ornithopter/Memnite/Shield Sphere (just about any 0cc or very cheap artifact would work here though Ornithopter can give you a final hit with Thallid Germinator pumping it)
I would use regular or Thallid. It'd allow you to start a bit earlier.
Thinking about taking out the Nether Spirits maybe for draw or a big beater.
I would add it.
The Memory Sluices could be really nice with your creatures.
Still need to cut the mind Funerals and the Glimpse the Unthinkables. I'd go with either Halimar Excavators, Tome Scour, Brain Freeze, Vision Charm, or Memory Sluice.
I otherwise really like it. My first post seems overly critical about it, so I felt I needed to say this.
