According to Lying in the Gutters (and given the good ol' green light) Doom Patrol is cancelled as of issue #18. He says issue #11 in the article but I think he meant Breach is cancelled as of #11. Finally some common sense from DC.

As for the others being axed I'll bet that Blood of the Demon will follow Doom Patrol. It lost another 2,000 readers last month. 16k copies isn't enough to pay Byrne's salary. Intimates is probably also on the block, losing roughly another 1,500 readers and dropping below 10k in sales. Plastic Man is down to around 8K in issues sold, it should be axed but it is a darling with the critics. Other than those I don't know. Unless they drop the whole Johnny DC/Kids line.

The kids line is probably safe. The Diamond numbers don't reflect all the sales there. Plastic Man, IIRC, just won an Eisner, so it might be safe for a little while longer. DCU titles that I'm guessing might be on the block (that you haven't mentioned already) would be Manhunter, Hawkman, and Aquaman. Legion World's Badwill Ambassador

Hawkman has seen a smidgen of sales increases the past 2 months, perhaps from word-of-mouth about how excellent the book has become... (I know I personally can't do without it right now!)... but upcoming solicits certainly do make things sound "final"...
