Finding this deck to be quite slow which I feel is bad for an aggro deck. Any thoughts on what to add to speed this up or make it more potent?
For starters, how about 24 land. I feel that you have no mana ramp so you can't miss a land drop in the first 4 turns. I like your idea with red but angels need to be a mana ramp deck so they come out as fast as you can ramp. In this setting they aren't as aggro as you want them to be.
I agree with 24 land. I don't think this will be an aggro deck as your best creatures are 4 CMC and higher. Therefore, I'd try and slow down the opponent until you can get these creatures out. Lose the Emancipation Angels and Kessig Malcontents, add in Fiend Hunter, Oblivion Ring and maybe Day of Judgement.
Doj may be a bad idea but definitely o ring and fiend hunter. Maybe some other stuff like terminus or something..
Amended to deal with the earlier turns better! Thoughts?

{elvish piper} would be great if it were standard and he was running green.
Try {quicksilver amulet}
I built a similar idea in GW with sigarda and avacyn as bombs. Ive found herald cannot be under estimated, i would lose the slow spears for two more heralds and more wrath and add mana. This is a decent deck for vessal of endless rest or whatever that new manafact is called. The put something back on the bottom from the yard is helpful against flashback and reanimator.
Could use {timely reinforcements} as something to help against fast decks.
