My favorites units in hots is the swarm host, hydra, and viper together. I have a pretty decent overall strategy, but I don't have a good build order.
- I tend to do a 13 pool and a early gas when the pool is finished.
- Then I go for speedlings and early tech.
- Before starting the Lair I get a second gas, and build hydra den and infestation pit soon as soon as I can support those units in economy.
What is a better build order for this?

To get an ultra-gas heavy composition like this, you're going to want to start with a macro build order like Idra's 14 pool, 15 hatch:
No need for an early extractor, because this will get 4 extractors going quickly, and you've got a lot of teching time ahead of you. As you transition, take an 3rd base just for gas.
