The literature on this, or any other aspect of any possible 
Deleuze/Heidegger relationship is practically non-existent. In fact the 
best place to look is probably the archives of this very list: I recall a 
not so vapid exchange on this topic sometime last December (Sartre was the
hinge on which Deleuze and Heidegger turned. Melissa McMahon's posts were 
particularly brilliant. Too bad she unsubbed in a huff.) 

Another place to look, of course, is Deleuze's book on Foucault, 
especially the critique of intentionality in the latter half of the book 
(pp.108-9 of the English) Difference and Repetition is another source, 
but the references to Heidegger in that book don't seem to address your 
particular question. 

Now that we're at this, let me add that some of the things Heidegger 
says about "giving oneself over to the open" in "What Are Poets For?" may 
undermine certain aspects of the (non)relation you're talking about here. 
Notice, for example, the distinction he makes in that text between 
"self-assertion" and "resoluteness." At times I've wondered how closely 
does the "wager" involved in this "resoluteness" (in giving oneself over 
to the Open) implies a game of chance in the Mallarme/Nietzsche/Deleuze 
sense of chance.
