They usually tap from this and should they try to roll around I won't lose mount.

The traditional setup works good for gi, but I find that it's not nearly as efficient in no-gi. I do a similar set up to what it sounds like you do.
I like to try for the keylock, prompting them to roll onto their side and bring the other arm across their body to defend. From there I transition to the Who's Yo Daddy position and put one of my feet on the inside of their elbow just in case I can't get the armbar. That way I have an easy and quick transition to the bicep slicer or the triangle.
It's not very effective in gi because it gives them the chance to grab their sleeve, but it's great for no-gi. Also makes a lot of people roll away from you, giving you their back.
