For some games my opponent (who plays Eldar) has been using the following unit - 2 Farseers in a unit of Wraithblades. One rolls on Telepathy, the other one - on Runes of Fate. The Telepathy one always gets Invisibility and with the amount of Warp charges Eldar have (and my orks having zero phsycic defense) it's impossible to stop it. So I have a T6 invisible unit, that I can't kill even by throwing lots of dice (6s have been rare lately), that I can't ignore and that drives me crazy. I usualy bring Zhadsnark with a Bikestar with a Painboy, some Trukk boyz, some Meganobz with a DLS Megaboss and some lootas. Waht can I do to get this thing off the table?

Main task is don't focus on killing it, focus on killing the rest of the army. When something is invisible (even with Orks) don't concentrate your firepower into it, just avoid it and deal with it last.

i don't know how many attacks they have, but a unit of 30 Boyz can also tarpit them.

Your BikeStar might also have enough firepower to kill them.

They're the least of your worries. A slow (for eldar) unit with not much chopping - i mean, yep, they're gona kill like 5-10 boyz per phase but it's not all that frightening. Be happy he didn't get the same ammount of points in scatbikes or wraithknights.

Just ignore it, it's a 350+ point unit which should be a getting a T3 charge at best and will struggle to get anywhere close to its points back if you just bubble wrap anything important with a few Boyz.

I'm guessing most people here commenting are not ork players. The reason being orks regardless of unit size suck at tarpitting. After the first lost combat they will either beat themselves up or just run unless you add the character that gives fearless. But a reliable 30 man blob with either a warboss or grotsnik is going to be 400 points so then your crappier 400 point unit gets smoked by his 350 point unit.

I don't know what kind of wargear the Eldar have but armor might be useful. A gork or morkanaut. Greentide can help as it is the only reliable death star. Stomp can work but them you have a 770 point fire magnet.

Just take a culexus assassin and keep your orks 12 inches away that way he can deny their powers.
