You have rather a lot of blocks of ranked units for a skryre list - I understand that you want the clanrats so you can take the weapon teams, but what role are the giant rats filling here? I would cut those, or replace with a couple of rat darts for less points.
I would also trim your clanrat units a bit - you aren't looking to dominate in close combat with a skryre list, rather use magic and shooting as your big punches. Don't forget that even an MSU clanrat unit without any command is still a reasonably cheap WFT delivery system :)
To that end, then, a WLC and a doomwheel are both good, and jezzails are a must - but I would personally field a second unit of jezzails. Cut the PCBs: while very good, they don't quite fit here, and you don't have the monks to make them hang around.
Also, consider your BSB carefully - if you're going with a warlord general, you have already played down the magic side - if you're not careful, with only 2 casters, which you have spent a fair amount on (about an eighth of your points on two engineers), their nice magic tricks aren't going to get through. I'd either go with a seer general or a third WE instead of your BSB.
PWG aren't necessarily a bad choice in a skryre list, but personally I find units of 5 don't achieve much, and usually end up being wiped out or routed. I would suggest upping the model count here, or not bothering. I don't use them that often tho, so there might be a use for 5 that I'm missing.
What do you use the rat swarms for? If it's just as a screen for jezzails, I'd only take 2 swarms per unit of jezzails; on the other hand, 3-4 can make a decent tarpit in the middle of the field, though I suspect your large blocks of clanrats will be there?
My main advice is don't try to win on all fronts; skryre is usually shooty (with magic support) so try to play to your strengths.
