This is an interesting spin on infect, though I personally prefer making infect creatures unblockable and then pumping them up.

"A deck all about getting quick creatures with infect onto the battlefield and hopefully make them bigger."...some things aren't right here.
Your only chance of increasing strength of your creatures is "Hand of the Praetors", so your pump is pretty limited. Spells like "Vampire's Bite", "Boon of Erebos", "Unnatural Endurance " or "Virulent Swipe" give a one-time quick boost to your damage, and often that's all what is needed for an infect deck. If you want a more permanent pump try equipment's like "Bone Saw", "Bonesplitter" or "Leonin Scimitar".
Also if you want to play quick creatures why use such expensive spells like "Corrupted Conscience", "Inexorable Tide" and "Volition Reins"? It would be better to have some good (cheap) removal spells here an perhaps be able to cast something else rather than play a single spell that can easily get countered or removed.
Like Hetzer27 already pointed out, the normal way is to have unblockable creatures and give them infect ("Phyresis", "Tainted Strike") or to have infect creatures and make them unblockable ("Artful Dodge"). I would concentrate on one of this two methods but don't mix them up.

Necropede and ichor claw are worth a 4 of in any infect deck. They both makes your opponent seriously question blocking them and potentially letting them threw.

Distortion strike should be 100% 4 of as well +1/+0 target creature is unblockable and has rebound...nasty combo.

Corrupted conscience is my favorite infect card. Infect is meant to be fast and can be overwhelmed fast... CC allows you to have a shot mid and late game. Cheers on that choice.
