        True, but there's (presumably) multiple Doms as well.
Odds are, at least 1 titan dead before FF. Backed up by cards
and multiple screening units, I can't see the eldar winning
that battle.

        It seems your opponent isn't taking nearly enough screeners.
Carni detachments take a decent amount of firepower to drop (and there's
a good chance they'll be up again the next turn).

        Wrong?

        Depends who moves 1st... if he wins initiative whatever
CC stuff he drops would be able to walk all over one of your
titans. So another titan would die if you lose initiative.
