Trying to make a fun list..something not too competitive. So I immediately ruled out the Buff-commander and massive markerlight support.  
CAD -2000pts
 HQ: Ethereal 
 HQ: Cadre Fireblade; 2x shield drones
 Troops: 6 Firewarriors; pulse carbines, emp grenades
 Devilfish; SMS, pods
 Troops: 6 Firewarriors
 Devilfish; SMS, pods
 Troops: 12 Firewarriors; Sash'ui, 2x shield drones
 Elite: Riptide; FNP, early warning
 Elite: 2x XV8; TL missile pods, early warning
 Elite: 3x XV8; 6x plasma rifles
 Fast: 8 Pathfinders
 Fast: 2 Piranha; fusion blasters, pods
 Fast: Barracuda; pods
 Heavy: Hammerhead, Longstrike, sub munition, pods, SMS
 Heavy: 2x XV88, missile pods
 Heavy: 2x XV88, rail rifles
 Aegis, quad gun
basically the Fireblade sits behind the ageis and fires the quad gun while giving  his unit extra shots.  The Ethereal can join the unit or ride in a Devilfish. 
I only have 1 Riptide I went ahead and included it anyway.
A couple of interceptor missile pod suits and 6 plasma rifles to drop down somewhere.
Only 1 unit of markerlights, I figured I might as well paint a "first blood!" target on them.
Lastly, limiting the number of missile pod broadsides.
Still has a bit of firepower, and the flying battlecannon (Barracuda) is always a lot of "gets hot" rolls.
I'm going to be playing at 1500pts this month, so I will be dropping the hammerhead and riptide to get there.
Anyway, the first Tau-riffic Tau-tober! battle report soon!
