There's no such thing as "control-aggro". You can't get further apart on the spectrum of deck speed.
Control aims to draw the game out as long as it takes before the opponent simply runs out of options, and then finish it quickly with a huge bomb (i.e. AEtherling ).
Aggro's only strategy is to slam things into the board as quickly as possible and turn 'em sideways; the faster, the better. You want to overrun your opponent with damage and threats before they have time to set up a defense and stabilize.
You really need to choose which direction you want to go in and devote your deck to that. Mixing any of the three main archetypes of Magic (control, midrange, aggro) usually requires both a good reason to do so and enough flexible cards to make the blend more fluid.
