I run a 10-man DA squad with PW, Shimmer, Defend exarch in most of my lists. I use them as a bodyguard for Eldrad for the most part. They work well against tactical marines and assault marines when they can get the charge. Having the avatar around helps a lot. They'll last longer taking fearless wounds than they will if they have to pass moral checks because they just don't do that much damage. Against dedicated CC units like assault termies or thunderwolves, they'll fold rapidly even with fortune.
