No, the 10 speed Shimano MTB derailleur won't work with the 10 speed road shifter.
Get the 9 speed MTB one, that'll work with the 8/9/10 speed road shifter.
11-34 with 50/34 give you a very good range with a very low gear of 26GI for the worst.
Having said that, all modern Shimano long cage road derailleur work well with a 11-32t cassette (28GI).

Cool, cheers. So something long cage like http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-deore-m610-10-speed-rear-mech/rp-prod108792 with compact rings?
Just going to go friction shifting on the downtube yeah so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues right?
The cheaper I can make it the longer I stay away for
