I'd cut uncessary cards like Brilliant Ultimatum and Time Stretch that are DEAD without Dream Halls. Instead, put the cards you need to win when you have Dream Halls to a small number, few Conflux, enough to kill.

That way, your deck has less "dead draws" with Progenitus+X" but no Dream Halls. Same way You don't ever need Summoner's Pact.
There are too many cards that do NOTHING without Dream Halls.

Concentrate on a few key cards, and build the rest around establishing Control (4th Mana Drain) and carddraw.

I play Dream Halls Flux for a while in Vintage now, biggest success here was a Top8 performance at Germany's biggest Vintage event (70).
