An Eldar army really needs some way to ignore nightfighting.
An interesting thought arising out of the Tau Codex, will the Eldar also get a range increase to 18in on fusion guns, if so does the firepike become 24in range?
Intercept as a psychic power would certainly be fluffy, I recall it is used in path of the Seer to foil an ambush within a battle.
Intercept.....Warlock or Farseer power?
I'd say Warlock meself, because it's such an obvious 'auto-on' power that it would reduce the flexibility of a Farseer overall.

Of all the big problems with eldar, I would rate nightfight being very low on that list.
There's general offensive ability - which is really just 4th edition balancing
There's price vs durability, which limits possible builds
There's over-reliance on single units and single models (which is, again, more edition creep than anything else, but must be fixed)
There's a lot of things wrong with the codex, mostly caused by age. Inability to nullify nightfight - I don't see this as one of the problems.
As far as i'm concerned, since DtW is basically a psychic defense, simply making nearly every freaking infantry unit in the codex a ML1+ psyker would go a long way towards making the eldar unique. Buff Ld, and make RoW primary detachment only, and you have an army which acts differently than all the rest.
Even if every eldar isn't an active psyker, at the very least, warlocks should be ML1.

From a background perspective, this is a rule that should apply to damn near every army in the game. 'Nightfighting' isn't really something to take into consideration when you're dealing with a universe of warriors in HUD-equipped armor and monster predators who can see in the dark.
Maybe army wide Eldar nullify Psychic powers on 5+ instead of 6. Fleet will probably be army wide as oppose to only certain units like now.
