Keep in mind, R-30 is one of the lowest density batts out there at 0.57# per cubic foot- compress it to R-26 (medium density) or further still to R-15 (high density, pp.41;

Air seal the attic first, and use a housewrap over the low density batts to prevent wind-washing degrading you thermal barrier.
