Here's one piece of advice from a long time eldar player:

And,

Never rely on one thing to do the job for you. What happens if those fire dragons are just out of melta range and you can't pop the land raider? Do you have enough S8 missiles or fast moving CC units to help out?

Basically make sure you have two units that can take on one specific type of target... Dragons are obvious for infantry/tank duty, banshees are great for all kinds of heavy infantry, and farseers are absolutely necessary. And perhaps more than 1 in case you come up against a psychic hood or something else.

I would also recommend having more than 5 guys in a squad. With T3 just about anything can force any of those squads to take a panic check. Even with Ld9 it's just too dangerous to lose 1 unit that is the only unit that can take on one other specific enemy type. The exception is if you're meching up everything. Survivability is greatly increased with eldar transports with all their energy fields and other nifty upgrades.
