Disclaimer: I am not an Eldar expert. Frankly I suck at Eldar.
With that being said:
I believe your farseer is going with your Dark Reapers? That whole thing is a mistake. At 500 pts, everything matters, everything counts so placing half your points into a 5 man, T3, 3+ save unit is not a smart move.
At this points level, I believe either a Wave Serpent or a Wraith Lord are mandatory for their sheer durability to cost ratio. What you take after that is pretty much your choice but I would consider Dire Avengers possibly instead of Guardians, a spiritseer instead of a Farseer and making one larger jetbike squad rather than two minimum ones as they aren't just grabbing objectives for you, they have to be able to lend some fire support or they aren't very much worth taking.

Bush? No, Eldar Ranger

For 152 points, the Dark Reapers are way too squishy. Take a Fire Prism instead. Its versatiliy will make it worthy of it's points in a Tournament. And slapping holofields for 15 points will make it considerably more durable.
Dump Runes of Warding. It's a lot of points for the possibility of stopping a psychic power. Replace it with a Jetbike.
Speaking of Jetbikes, combine the two teams of Windrider's into one. That'll Give the Bike Seer a solid team to join.

Executing Exarch
|
I second the prism over reapers. It can do the same jobs and more, while being substantially harder to kill. If your set on the reapers and/or don't have a prism, you want an exarch, probably with night vision and certainly with fast shot.
If you can't get a bikeseer, camping with the guardians will do, but the bike is better. Drop runes of warding regardless-a farseer should deny most enemies on a 4+ already, before saves or whatever. Points better spent anywhere.

Drop reapers and runes, combine bike units, buy a warlock with bike, add a bike to seer, and take a prism.
