Elvish Piper does more than just put that one Hellkite into play. It's a huge >DESTROY ME< magnet, I've seen people cast DoJ just for my one Elvish Piper (granted, I play with Progenitus, Darksteel Colossus, Realmrazer and Thornling).

However, they're right... you don't have many biggies. Beatdown elves should be more about beatdown. I'd suggest Elvish Visionary, take out the Pipers (sorry, I love them too), add more elves. And maybe Nessa's lover and fellow planeswalker, Garruk. And Sarkhan Vol might be cute.
