Personally, I'd rather take that 20 pts and trade the small WR unit for 7 Wardancers with full command. One thing that worries me about multiple Wild Riders is that they are so fast they might out pace the rest of your army. Your center is slow, assuming your Treekin and Man are your center. Depending on deployment and your enemy's tactics your Wild Riders might end up on the far side of the board away from the action. 1 unit of 6 w/ Warbanner and your Alter Noble will be plenty of hammer, and your Glade Riders and HoDA are all you need to deliver them.

Wardancers on the other hand will help you create a "center threat." Your Treemonsters are hard, but relatively easy to avoid. One more center rushing unit will create a threat zone that your opponent won't be able to avoid. Like a "zone blitz," a rush from too many angles for you opponent to react effectively. Something will get through, and combined with Dryads, will really hurt.

Other than that, I really like your list. @2000+, I'd never take a Branchwraith, but under 2000 they can be really good. Especially with the Annoyance of Nets.
