Hey i have been playing eldar for a year (and a half?) In my last two games i have done insanely well: one was against chaos marines the other space marines. Both games were annihilation and pitched deployment. Both games i managed to destroy all my opponent's army completely by turn 3. BTW I am not cheating. Any way what i was wondering was should i be doing this well with my army list (below).
HQ
Eldrad- 210 points

Elites
10 howling banshees (exarch, executioner, war shout, acrobatic) 192 points
Wave serpent ( TW bright lance, spirit stones) 145 points
10 Harlequins (troupe master with power weapon, shadow seer, 9 kisses) 266 points

Troops
10 guardian defenders (EML platform) 100 points
10 dire avengers (exarch, power weapon & shimmer shield, defend) 152 points

Heavy support
Wraith lord (2 flamers, wraith sword, scatter laser) 120 points
fire prism (holofields, shuriken cannon) 160 points
fire prism (holofields) 150 points

Total: 1495

Your list is not the best list ever, but it is very solid. Most of your units are very good against marines. You only have three tanks, so melta spam loses some effectiveness against you.

Maybe your a better player? Or your opponents made stupid mistakes, or had bad lists?You also dont have a lot of anti tank, were they fielding a lot of armor? Granted, marine tanks are fairly easy to destroy, but a land raider would give you trouble.

As far as suggestions-
I would drop the cannon off the prism, as it should usually be out of effective range to use it. Plus, I can not fire it if it moves more than 6".

Wraithswords look cool, but are pretty meh. Re roll your 2 attacks is cool, but for ten points, no thanks. It could be another gun. Even a shuriken cannon would be better, a missile or lance would be best.
