Well, I'm all for Dreadnoughts in a Space Wolves drop pod army. They play several important roles, not the least of which is some Wolfooth Necklace smack down.

I love dreadnoughts, but I haven't had one survive until turn 2 yet! The prevalence of inquisitor/mystic teams means that my dreadnought is shot at before he can pop smoke.

I want to like Tempest's Wrath, but there seems to be a severe shortage of "Skimmers, Jetbikes, Jump Infantry, and units arriving from Deep Strike" around here unless I'm playing vs. Tau, and I'm not too worried about those games.

For what it's worth: local meta-game is about 50% MEQ, 20% Tyranid, and 10% Tau. Most lists run 2-3 pieces of armor, but 5 is the max. No fully-mech players in my area (our IG players like footslogging).
