ditch the crabs. the reliance is on the groves or ruptures, and there's no guarantee someone won't tectonic edge those

no celestial mantle? with a whispersilk cloak and a mantle, you pretty much have infinite life, especially with an eternity vessel. The felidar attacks, lifelink triggers, the mantle triggers, and it's invincible to doom blade!
the first thing i would do to this deck would be to throw the scutes and naturalizes in the sideboard, and replace them with channelers and khalni hydras. if your opponent has no artifacts or enchantments, a naturalize is a dead card in your hand.
the thing is, the rampaging baloths and avengers rely on manadrops to use their abilities to the fullest. if i rely on creature mana too much, they get pretty much negated, and overruns become less powerful. and most peopple can't stop over 500 damage from plants and beasts alone.
the deck looks beautiful right now. the only thing i can really suggest, provided you aren't aiming for standard legal, would be upwelling, for a massive amount of wolves from the wolfbriar or massive damage from omnath
you don't know how to add cards to the deck?
why is liliana in this deck without bloodchief ascensions? i have liliana i my deck, but based around the bloodchief ascension. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=44959
the deck looks decent overall. but since you aren't shooting for standard legal, i would throw 4 titania's chosen in there. at least 2 more coat of arms, and remove the shields and quest if you're going to keep steely resolve, as it prevents you from targeting your creatures. i would also add draw cards, such as harmonize, since you can be playing 5 or 6 cards at a time at some points. elvish champion would be a good idea, along with heedless one and wirewood channeler. overall, the deck needs work, but it looks decent
the biggest problem i see in this deck is an angelic enchantments deck, or a white removal and prevention. a single path would cause intense havoc against this deck. pacificims and journey to nowhere's would also be a big issue.
brain, i didn't use hideous end for two reasons, mana cost, and tournament quality. the majority of the people at the tourneys i attend have at least 5 black creatures in them. Talkyn, the deck is about vampires. Hence, vampire ascension. the quietus spike is effective in the sense that, wither you block and lose a creature, or lose half of your health. with things like a guul draz vampire, a 1/1 to start, doesn't seem very threatening. all of a sudden it's a 1/1 with deathtouch that can become a 3/2 with dethtouch very quickly. before someone wonders why liliana is in there besides the discard ability, it's because of her final ability. say there are a total of 10 vampires in all graveyards, 2 of which are malakir bloodwitches. if i activated liliana's final ability, each opponent would lose 20 life, and i would gain a minimum of 20.
Since this deck doesn't care much about dollar value, throw a dragonmaster outcast or two in there. six or more lands, and you have a 5/5 dragon
i would suggest removing the consume spirits and replacing them with either corrupt or mutilate. 18 swamps would be plenty for anything but a deck based on akroma. Akroma, angel of wrath, akroma's memorial, etc.
you should put armageddon in just to piss off whoever you're playing
