With dual Flyrants, your going to be handing them Slay the warlod VP, and lose the benefit of your Warolord often.

It's no different if you have one or two HQ models you only choose one to be your Warlord. BRB pg 111. "... you must nominate one model to be your Warlord..."

By haveing your warlord a FMC, it will be targeted not just because it is FMc, but because it is also your warlord. Prime in a unit of warriors, parasite in a unit of shrikes, or a tyrant with tyrant guard has more survivability because of LOS, were as the flyrant is going to be ahead of the army often thus an easy target. Just something for you to think about.

As long as you are aware of it, you can use the lure of 'slay the warlord' to draw fire away from your troops until it is too late for the opponent to clear your objectives. In theory.

List seems pretty normal, I question IA against all but nids though. Smash lets you ID most and even T6 can be IDed using enfeeble to bring it down to T5, sometimes.

I have been kinda floundering with a use for the dual scy-tal tyrant. I figure re-rolls on all to hits, and to wounds, combined with the ability to insta-kill any multi-wound model if any wounds aren't saved seems to be a decent role. In theory IA could also be used in HoW attacks, but that gets into murky waters.

For 5 points more, regen could be better. It's pretty good value on a Tyrant.
