You shouldnt need to change derailiers. If it's slipping it's usually because the sprockets are worn. Often if you replace a chain it starts slipping as a new chain wont work well with worn sprockets. I would try changing the chain and sprockets and see what happens. The jockey wheels are never under alot of stress which is why you can get away with them being plastic. The top jockey wheel is also supposed to feel a bit loose as it is designed to tilt slightly to aid gear changing
