So I should be doing:
4 Weeks loading DFHT
1 Week Deload DFHT
2 Week Intensity DFHT

Never heard of an intensity DFHT before LOL..
Nothing is set in stone. That's what you need to realize. The DFHT could see a 3 week loading phase, or even a 4 week load. It up to YOU. If you feel great, then keep going.
I wouldn't start with DFHT though...
-> DF 5x5 volume phase
-> Deload
-> DF 3x3 intensity phase
-> Deload
-> DFHT loading
-> DFHT deload
...ect...
My old DF journal won't reflect the intensity phase because I experimented with running back to back volume phases seperated by a deload.
To be honest, I'd prefer you to START with the DF 5x5, running through both the volume and intensity phases, then fucking around with the DFHT. My reasoning is because the DF 5x5 can and will give you the strength and overall thickness. The DFHT can be used to compliment your 5x5 training by addressing your weak areas in both your strength and body composition. For example, after the DF 5x5, you maybe stuck at 200 lbs benching about halfway up. So for DFHT, you'll incorperate some more floor/board presses to help out with that (upper 2). Same goes for squatting. If you're stuck, then for DFHT, incorperating the goodmornings and pullthroughs will most certainly help. Biceps not up to snuff after all the heavy 5x5 pulls?.. Incorperate some rest/pausing for arms during your DFHT. Hopefully, I illustrated my point in a way that'll convince you.
