The Twilight Fade

Now before I start this list is to take on my friends orks, now my friend has been playing 40k for a long time now and he reckons that he measures an armies power level by how they would fare against orks. I know they get alot of stick in the internet community but he has a finesse with them and manages to win 99% of the time.
So anyway he reckons that Eldar have no chance against them and being a relatively new Eldar player (playing nids most of the time) I decided to take him up on the challenge, so I present my list looking for some advice on what to add/replace and in total the list comes to 2376. We decided on a 2500 game (cos who doesn't like bigger battles!!) but some fine tuning from other Eldar players wouldn't go a miss.
1 Eldrad 210
5 Dire Avengers 60
1 Falcon Holo Fields Shuriken cannon Scatter Laser Spirit Stones 185
1 Farseer Jet Bike Spirit Stones Guide Fortune Mind War 155
11 Storm Guardians 2 Flamers + Warlock w/ Destructor 135
Wave Serpent Shuriken Cannon Scatter lasers 125
11 Storm Guardians 2 Flamers + Warlock w/ Destructor 135
Wave Serpent Shuriken Cannon Scatter lasers 125
12 Guardian Jet Bikes 4 Shuriken Cannons + Warlock w/ Destructor 359
10 Dire Avengers Exarch Blade Storm 147
10 Harlequins Shadow Seer 210
10 Harlequins Shadow Seer 210
2 Fire Prisms Holo Fields + Shuriken Cannons 320
Now I have 5 troops choices so plenty to capture things with, Eldrad rides with Avengers in the Falcon and buffs things as well as making it scoring and the jet bike farseer goes with the bike guardians also offering support where needed, I opted for the harlequins over other elites because mathematically they kill more than lets say a 10 man squad of Scorpions and they don't need a wave serpent to baby sit them.
Its a bit light in the anti-vehicle dept but battle wagons are the only real concern as scatter lasers can hurt killa kans and they have relatively weak side/back armour anyway and if needs be the prisms can fire head on.
So bearing in mind that there are some points left over and an open elites choice what would you guys add/replace. Looking forward to some input!! :cool:
