Though Coat of Arms is really good, I am more wanting to have a burn style deck that is disguised as a creature deck. Basically I want to use the tokens I generate more for the secondary benefits of sacrificing for mana & chipping away at life via enchants like Warstorm Surge and Boggart Shenanigans .

I already see a bunch of infinite combos in here...
That being said, I don't really think Krenko is the right general for your concept. In order to turn the tokens into mana, you need either Ashnod's Altar, Skirk Prospector, or Mana Echoes. Of course, Goblin Bombardment and Warstorm Surge turn them into direct damage. You don't have a good way to ensure getting these cards.
I think you would be better off using Wort, Boggart Auntie to add black. With the tutors available, you would be able to assemble what you need much quicker. I prefer to combo, myself, but you can take a look at my Wort deck to get an idea of the shell you might need to build around. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/wort-comboaggro-20-infinite-combos/
Simply use the goblin tutors and black tutors along with your goblin package and burn package.

Braid of Fire might be a consideration to help ramp up mana.

Goblin Charbelcher if you're going to run pure mountains.
Strip Mine , Wasteland , Maze of Ith , Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle if not.
Other solid cards:
Word of Seizing , Curse of Bloodletting ( cut Furnace of Rath for this), card:War's Toll, Urabrask the Hidden , Wild Ricochet (much better than ANY counterspell for single targets) Lightning Greaves (a must!)
Last-Ditch Effort !!! It is AMAZING with your deck. They're going to wrath of god? Punish them in response. And the beauty of this spell is that you only sacrifice creatures once the spell itself resolves. If they want to counter it, let them, don't sacrifice anybody.
Cards in your deck I'm feeling lukewarm about.
Preyseizer Dragon - you already have sooo many sacrifice effects going on this is redundant and lack luster, especially against Urabrask.
Lava Burst super meh. i think you have enough x spells, but if you really feel like you want another one, use Banefire instead.
Kyren Negotiations i feel you can accomplish pretty much the same thing by just attacking, and put in a better card.
Mass Hysteria no no no, absolutely cut it. This can def bite you in the ass later. use a suggestion, like Urabrask. Or Fervor if you really want an enchantment.
Vicious Shadows its ok, but its slow and will do like 3-4 damage by the time it comes out. But i could understand keeping it in.
Umbral Mantle in no way, shape, or form, better than Lightning Greaves

Extraplanar Lens is awesome ramp for mono colored decks tho I would run Snow-Covered Mountain s instead. It allows you to get the boost while other people without snow covered dont.Thawing Glaciers is a good way to always make sure you get a land drop

Thou should rub Legion Loyalist for he shall aid your goblins in killing all infidels who stand before them. And thou should have a lust for rubbing goblins for the Wizard has an extensive collection of dried goblin scrotums for potions of the Damned. Thy should consider Goblin Guide .

Coat of Arms is a must in a deck like this. Dragon Fodder and card:Krenko's Command along with Goblin Rally would help the the deck as well.
