I think it's fine, looks alright to me.
The game
Right now I'm doing Squats one week and no Deadlifts, and vice versa on the other week, than repeat. Below I'll list down a typical Back workout of mine which includes Deads every 2 weeks. Please comment...
Week 1 (Deadlift week, no Squat)
Pull Ups or Pull Downs: 3 sets to failure or 2 x 6-8, 1 x 10
Bent Over Dumbbell Rows: 2 x 8-12
Reverse Grip Bent Over Barbell Rows: 2 x 8-10
Deadlift: 1 x 12, 3 x 8
Shrugs: 2 x 10
Hyper Ext: 2 x 10 (easy work, just to make lower back feel better)
Week 2 (Squat week, no Deadlifts)
Pull Ups: 3 sets to failure
Revese Grip Pulldown: 2 x 8
Bent Over Dumbbell Row: 3 x 8-10
Seated Cable Row: 2 x 10
Shrugs: 2 x 8-12
The volume seems a little high, but apparently just by a little. What do you guys think about it?
Keep on going...

Your routine seems reasonable. Your volume is ok...most people overtrain with 15-20 sets on back...you are at about 10. After several weeks, change some exercises to keep your muscles off balance.

Your routine is great. Very similar to one I read in "Brawn".
