Just to make sure... you have already earned those 6 hours in Public Speaking, correct? The DSST exam is COM-209, the SL class is COM-108, and you could also use SL Business Communications is COM-300, and each of those will get you 3 hours, if you don't have those 6 hours yet.
Your plan looks good, but the area of study needs some tweaking. You can only use six 100-level hours in your area of study, so I broke it down for you in terms of class level instead of subject. Pick what you'd like from those options; the others can be left out or used as free electives.
Also, if you used all the TECEPs listed along with the Capstone, you would have 15 of the 24 resident hours you need to enroll in the Pay Per Credit plan, which saves a lot on fees. You would just need 3 more TECEPs in any subject to fulfill those requirements.
Good luck.
