For those of you playing EA, I am soliciting all opinions on anti-Eldar tactics, especially those applicable for use by SM and CSM forces.
What I am interested in are tactics that a well rounded, tournament-style force could use against Eldar. I am not interested in army selection suggestions. I can definitely tool up an anti-Eldar army pretty easily but that doesn't help on the fly.
The problem that I run into is that Eldar have hordes of MW fire. A lot of the SM and CSM unit cost comes from the fact that they are definitely well-armored. MW negates that and as both forces are few in number, Eldar seem tailor-made to shred SM and CSM. I have yet to find tactics that work consistently.
Thanks for any help, guys.

I've had success with the usual drop-podding Scouts supported by Thunderhawks and Terminators. The scouts can assault Eldar vehicle formations (Falcons, Prisms, Engines of Vaul) on Turn 1 and make the Eldar spend turn 1 dealing with the nuisance while I get to keep the initiative and maneuver for positions. To summarize, do what Marines always do: kill the soft firepower fast.
