Not really a useful recipe for combat but more of a levelling tip:
Don't waster all your useful and rare ingredients on weak potions for grinding. Blue butterfly wings and blue mountain flowers combine to make a poison of damage magicka regen and fortify conjuration that sells for 254 septims apiece (at a low level without any perks). They also level you really fast.
I make all my characters that practice alchemy learn as many ingredient effects and combinations as possible, but this is the potion I use for most of my grinding. I always keep these ingredients handy so that when I discover a few be effects or brew a new potion, I can then grind up to the next level.
Oh and Grits, you named my favorite poison in your first list: red mountain flower, salt and death bell which slows and does health damage. Usually a last resort for Ravos, when they are closing in on him and too powerful for his one-handed skill. I call it "GET OUT OF MY FACE YOU SLIMY B*****D!"
