Neotrup on Timing of equip with Valduk's …

Generally no. Valduk, Keeper of the Flame creates the tokens at the beginning of combat step. It's too late to activate equip abilities as they can only be activated during your main phase while the stack is empty. If you control Leonin Shikari, you'd be able to equip after making the token, due to removing that timing restriction. Some equipment like Sparring Collar have an ability that allows you to move it without using the equip ability.

While Valduk, Keeper of the Flame normally is the one getting equipped, I'm curious if I can equip Grafted Wargear on one of the 3/1 elementals he creates? When they hit the battlefield is it too late to use an equip ability?

Say Valduk, Keeper of the Flame has four equipment on him and Mana Echoes is in play, when the combat phase hits and Valduk creates four creatures, do they count each other towards Mana Echoes' effect, or not? We'll say no other elementals are on the BF either. So do we get 12 colorless mana, 6 mana, or none...?

Valduk, Keeper of the Flame creates a set of 3/1 elementals each combat phase, so if you entwine Savage Beating will it's double strike effect apply to the second round of creatures Valduk creates?

Hey, good start, but without an infinite combo you should forget about trying to get to power level 8 because 8+ level decks win with infinite combos. Without an infinite combo then power level 6-7 is the highest level you should go for. Not having black's powerful tutors or Fetch lands are other reasons the power level isn't higher. With DFC you only count the front side of the card in the decklist, the backside is not added. For example Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip goes in the decklist, but Shatterskull, the Hammer Pass doesn't.

My advice is if you want to make a good Rakdos Toggo deck than build around Rocks. Take more advantage of Rocks to get more value out of them. Cranial Plating fueled by Rocks combos with Chandra's Ignition and Fling effects to kill your opponents with burn. Inspiring Statuary and Rocks can make a lot of ramp for Comet Storm or Exsanguinate.

Valduk, Keeper of the Flame, Heavenly Blademaster, Eidolon of Countless Battles, Brood Keeper. You don't seem to be focusing on auras, so maybe not the last two.

Crown of the Ages could be a sideboard card in case your opponents have enough auras to make it funny. It doesn't change control of the aura but you get access to other colors.

Vow of Duty, Vow of Lightning, Martial Impetus, Shiny Impetus and Bloodthirsty Blade are good defensive cards until you put them all on your guy and wreck shop.
