Its not 100% Fluffy Ravenwing, specifically the command squad. Anyway heres the list, opinions wanted.
HQ:
200pts
Sammael on his Bike.
510pts
Land Raider Crusader:
Tech Marine w/ Power Field Generator
5 man Command Squad w/ DakkaBanner
Fast Attack:
336pts
8 Black Knights, 1 w/ Grenade Launcher
80pts
Dark Shroud Land Speeder
Troops:
3 Ravenwing Bike Squads all identical:
241pts each
5 Bikers, 2 w/ meltaguns
1 Sergeant w/ melta bombs
1 Attack Bike w/ Multi melta
TOTAL: 1849
I know the list will struggle with fliers relying on plasma or lucky melta shots, but the Ravenwing flier is pretty much crap.
The fluffier version took a biker command squad w/ a librarian (PFG) and an apothicary, and a few more black knights, otherwise the same.
Thought I might try out the command squad in the Land Raider as it will be much harder to take out, the land raider will have a tech marine to fix hull points, and a 4++.

Not sure how well this will do in a GT, but otherwise looks like a fun list.
Though from personal experience the dakka banner is best when you have a LRC wall or massed bolter bikers, which you have neither so many drop the command squad and take more bikes instead?

Just my two cents, and I'm not a tournament player mind you.
Drop the command squad and LRC. Try to turn that into a RWCS (still with the BoD), a couple typhoons and an additional three RWAS bikes.
Maybe try trade the techmarine for the librarian you mentioned and keep him with the knights.
Again, take it with a grain of salt, I just don't see the one LRC lasting long in a tournament setting and once it's gone you're out a significant amount of firepower.

I might give some if that a try.
The land raider route I was thinking is only a little points difference than I was running my biker command squad.
I was running a Libby on a bike with a PFG, and an apothecary.
I just figured the landrader with an invuln would be even more durable and it and the three bike squads would still be putting out 96 TL bolter shots at 24" a turn. (edited to fix the math, forgot to include the shooting from the LRC)

Firstly, check the DA faq, the PFG does not work from inside vehicles, hasn't done for nearly a year now.
The best alternative tends to be a librarian on a bike.
I would drop the dark shroud. In its place I'd get 2 more black knights (to make 2 squads of 5)
also, make one of them a Ravenwing command squad this will knock off 10 points. (as you have not read the faq, also bear in mind that RCS can now have 2 more black knights at +40 points each)
If you have the points left over, the take the ravenwing standard for free hit and run.
