My own view is that the Oath is only a characteristic of Feanors lack of control. However, it is very central to the whole story, for one of the last things we see in The Silmarillion true, is Maglor throwing the Silmaril into the sea, after fulfilling the oath. Therefore if you included The Oath of Feanor into your list, then The Prophecy of the North/Doom of the Noldor was equally as binding and powerful.
