Not a lot of variety here, and you are rather reliant on PCBs with ld 5 who won't get much better. If I was you I would:
1) vary the weapon teams, ratling guns underperform the others at present, and variety gives you more options depending on what you face.
2) take units of 25 clanrats instead of 20 - you'll keep the rank bonus longer.
3) vary your special choices a little more; maybe take a unit of monks to support a unit of PCBs, if you particularly want them.
4) think about dropping the rat swarms in favour of a unit of slaves (and indeed finding some points for a second unit of slaves somewhere :) ). I can't think of a role the swarms will play in this list. They're not big enough to tie up anything nasty, and you don't need a screen . . .

Ratling guns were my choice mainly because those are the models I currently have.
The rat swarms were there simply because i had 50 extra points and didn't feel slaves had a use.
Pcbs were my choice because i wanted hard hitting and cheap. at 80 points per unit I thought that a deal.

I wound up winning that game. pcbs performed very well. The ratlings didnt do squat due to a good deployment on his part, and a poor one on mine, I let a chicken get the drop on 2 of my guns that were too close together. he didnt get them at the same time, but in consecutive turns.

Ld 5 doesnt scare me as much as ld 9/10 does.
I have rallied ld5 far more often than i have 9/10!
My high elves don't like to pass ld tests, but my skaven do :D
