I've been playing Shattergang since he was released (as a token deck). I am currently looking to change things up by creating a Shattergand deck with a stax/Glissa package. I am looking for advice on deck edits as well as specific card choices.
I've never played a Stax type deck, so I'm not sure I'll be much help, but Visara the Dreadful, Avatar of Woe, and even Royal Assassin get pretty fun with Thornbite Staff. Deathbringer Thoctar can also be used with the Deathtouch equipment if Sharpshooter is readily available.
Edit: Didn't see you already had that in the list.
Tanglewire, Winter Orb, Smokestacks are all great stax cards which can be pretty unfair with constant recurrance by glissa. I particularly enjoy Tanglewire with Doubling Season, but the latter is only worth running if you decide to really go crazy with counters/tokens.
Strangely enough, I've had some good success with Ornithopter in my Shattergang deck, It runs Glissa, the Traitor and Phyrexian Reclamation as recursion. It's two permanent types for Shattergnag to abuse and chump blocks like a champ.

The strategy is to use a "stax" type of deal to slow the game down while using Glissa and Sharpshooter to snipe anything. Discuss!
