Would some one tell me why as many as 11 activations in a 200 point squad isnt that many. In the group I play with that many activations has you way out activating your opponent. It is common for as few as 3 activations in a 200 point squad to be seen and do well in my group.

further
if what you have works for you in your "local meta" GREAT!
enjoy it
but so you understand, when you recieve crtiques
it's mostly based on what is a general understanding of the National Meta
"we" mostly assume you want to take your squad to the highest level possible
that's why you are offering it up to the COMmunity at large, right...?

I think that 10-12 is a good standard activation squad

depends on the squad you're facing IMO. 11 may not be much however limiting/choicing yourself to one activation at a time, with 11 may not be so bad. Also if you're "low" activations can eliminate some of your opponents like with maybe a Kybuck or something like that, then the risk/reward for low activations may be worth it.

11 acts isn´t enought for me. My builds need the out activation. so i like to play 11 -14 acts in 150 point format ... i need a lot more than 11 acts in 200 pt. Best 150 pt. Squad i´ve ever created has 16 acts.:)
I never play a squad without activation control. (Ozzel, Dodonna, Hill ...) with the exeption of a Republic Swap Squad.

It also has a lot to do with the skill level at your local meta. I have never lost against someone at 200 points when they were playing three 'tough' characters and I had 11-14 average characters. Out activating someone assures that you are getting opportunist off every round, and if you have activation control, you are getting cunning and opportunist in the same round every round. 11 activations is not bad with the right squad, but if you can out activate your opponent, you have an advantage in the game.
