I never got why you would take One Super Heavy as a support choice when you could have 3 as a core choice...
This is for the same reason Eldar Engines of Vaul Troupes are 1-3. Some superheavies operate better as singles, some as formations. In singles, you get more activations, can hit multiple targets, and have multiple formations to break. In formations you get concentrated fire, tougher to break formation, but all 500 pts break as one.
Praetorians, while they figure largely in the AM novels, are tough dudes. They occupy the same niche as Storntroopers, and thus should be support.
Due to points, Majoris are virtually impossible to "spam"; 4, maybe 5 in a 3k army, with almost no support. It probably doesn't matter if they are in support or core, but adding them under the Titan limit will mean there are better options, and this iconic unit will never be taken.
Why do you not like Minoris as core? In a PDF regiment, the AM would pull all the experimental weapons to the front in hopes of gaining a desicive advantage. Titans are too precious to wate on R&D, so you take the gun and add it to a mobile "test rig". In times of war, these, and proven but too advanced/expensive to manufacture weapons, become the Minoris.
Is the feel you were looking for an infantry-heavy list? I certainly feel that this is an option, but the existance of WEs (Ordinatii) that are even slower than footsloggers does not invalidate that. THey have really cool guns, but not enough on a per point basis to build an army around them. Cataphract and SHT Coys do become very attractive in this environment, though.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
