This page for tactics:

So Prince, VoidStorm, Dreamer, and Farseer join together in one unit.
Get teleport Power (50% chance)
Teleport for turn 1 charge.
50 attacks.
Ws 5 so hitting on 3s most of the time.
Rerolling hits with Prescience (thanks Prince)
Wounding on 2s.
(rerolling if any model is in challenge)

Dont die thanks to Invis
Have fun times.

Obviously it falls apart without the right powers, but even without the Teleport ability, they have 2 other Powers that help them move insanely fast, and they are very survivable.

Tried them last night against an eldar list with 18 scatt bikes, 3 lynxs and a wraithknight.
I had first turn, got the right powers, and the game was over by turn 2.
Killed his wraithknight turn one, blew up one Lynx, hurt the other, and killed half of his bikes.

We played another game where he went first, to see how the opposite would turn out...
I deployed only the Funstar, and held everything in reserve.

The squad tanked 9 S: D hits, 54 (18x3?) scatterbike hits, and the S7 7" blast from the knight without completely dieing, letting my reserves come in and hit back hard.

Thoughts?
There are some crazy movement shenanigans you can do with them.

If you're posting Corsair list stuff you might need to expound upon what some of the stuff does. For example, most psychic powers that move you disallow assaults afterwards (up until the new SM powers). And honestly looking at your list...you have 2 lynxes and a wraithknight yourself, so I wouldn't give all the credit to your assault unit, especially as you managed to get both invisibility and this teleport thing while keeping your your ML 1 rolling on prescience. Also I'm guessing in the second game you tanked everything on the shadow field, which statistically should have stopped working after the 6th scatter laser wound allowing the D-plates from the lynx to decimate you unless you've got some crazy 2+ cover shenanigans. So, that was abnormal.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

The 5th power on the corsair list lets a unit teleport anywhere on the table without scatter (they take some damage for doing so) and can immediately assault upon doing so.

Yes, the unit isnt the star of the list, but it does help allot.

Yea, they survived allot more than they should have. I would lookout sir most scatter shots to the farseer and dream weaver. Any d shots that roll a 6 I lookout sird to the voidstorm unit.
Point being the are more survivable than most would give them credit.
