Why the wings on the autarchs
I'd take scatter lasers not sc on the war walkers cos then you can keep them out of bolter range
I'd put the da with ws and give them exarchs with bladestorm and dual cats
Drop the ss on the ws altogether and give one to the fire dragons
Drop the troupe master and death jester and give all the harpies kisses
I'd drop the dark rappers for a fire prism and night spinner
I'd swap the autarchs for 2 guide doom and ss farseers

What ninja said except in order for your Harlies to live give them a Farseer with fortune. There are a lot of ignore cover weapons out their and a 5+ invul is too small to provide protection.

Definitely give the dragons a serpent before a squad of defenders. The 12'' range on the dragons is much more important. And the squad can probably be smaller in size and not loose efficiency.

Give Avengers the other serpents. Guardians should be sloggin it on foot. They're too cheap to need protection, and lack the punch the mobility can provide.

Avengers/Dragons should get them.

Get a farseer. They're pretty much the best thing eldar can get. Give him fortune and put him in the harlies squad to help them survive. Suddenly 5++ becomes quite useful.

I don't understand the Autarch(s) They arn't going to do much but waste points and bring a single BS6 Melta to the table. Maybe give one a reaper launcher if you insist on bringing him.

Spirit stones can go, they're not worth the points. I like to outfit serpents with Scatter Lasers, and a Shuricannon. No more.

I'd recommend giving the warlocks in the defender squads embolden. Save them from running away. They should be defending things, not pushing forward. Usually, if their catapults are in range of something, they're going to die. Guardians are a last line of defense, NEVER rely on them to do anything! Guardian Defenders I mean.

Storms can be useful. The squad as you've got it is great. Pop out from a serpent and flamer some stuff. Fun times.

Avengers - I did the math on it once. Always give Avenger squads AT LEAST an exarch with dual catapults. it's optimal, and he totally looks badass. Some people swear by bladestorm. I tend to not use it.
