My Numot, the Devastator control deck is probably my most successful. It runs maybe 6/7 wraths along with a decent number of spot removal spells.
One of the keys to the deck though is that the creatures also act as spot removal e.g. Bloodfire Colossus. It doesn't run too many counterspells and I think 4/5 planeswalkers.
I built the deck with the intention to ramp well and when the board state looks scary reset it. My win conditions can be big scary creatures or enchantments such as Assemble the Legion which over time takes over the game.
My other successful control deck is Dralnu, Lich Lord. This deck is very much a more draw go, with 7/8 counter spells, ways to steal opponents creatures or spells. The idea is to just grind out opponents and when everyone gets into top deck mode I play Dralnu and begin the replay my whole deck.
Casting Time Stretch into flashback casting it again usually seals the deal.
I do think life gain can be beneficial. Something like Sun Droplet is nice as over time it just gets you all that life you lost.
If you go the enchantment route then you will have a successful you can stall for quite some time but the winning can be hard, especially when opponents wise up to what you win with.
