as for the cavalry, i agree that is a really expensive second rank. perhaps a 7 wide single rank is best.
Nah, Currently DP's are awesome. However they are that awesome you don't need to buy to many. I always run 2 Units of 6. Give them a banner bearer with War banner and they will run through most things.
Elves need to be smash and grab now. Spears can't do that, and certainly can not hold a line any more.
If you want an anvil use PG's or WL's (PG's ward save, static res, fear causing etc - for the win) but you must flank charge the enemy. they auto break, they die.
Its a bit of a cliche on these forums, but use as many rare choices as possible too

quick thought going into 8th. From what i have read...
If you own the models already, forget about 8th until it comes out, it'll take months for everyone to get it.
If you are buying the models, then wait. There should be new LSG's coming out and you may regret not buying them if you buy spears now.
Either way, welcome back. there's loads of stuff on here to help - have a good root around
Good Luck
