Overuse of the phrase 'White Hand' rather than Isengard makes reading your list an eyesore to me.

Give the Shaman heavy armour if you really want him, swap the Uruk Captain for another named hero. If you have spare pts give some of the wargs throwing weapons. Also get some spear support for your troops or, unless your against Dwarves, you are doomed.

Looks nice, maybe it's only me, but would still skip the troll and the warriors because of the theme, only wargs, feral and scouts (and orcs)

Wargs did not go for the Fellowship, and you forgot Grishnakh and Ugluk.

So he's not sticking to iit in its entirety, otherwise there would be Lurtz and Uguk's Uruk-hai scouts, possibly with Mauhur and Feral Uruk-hai and Grishnak's Mordor Orc Scputs, and also the 'Northerners' aka Moria Goblins.

I know, but they are still in one of Saruman's hunting parties

I would drop Lurtz for Ugluk or Mahur. Lurtz costs that same as Ugluk and has the same stat line. Sure Lurtz has a bow but Ugluk has the head-taker ability. Also, I would drop the captain for Mahur as he gives you the option to upgrade scouts to marauders. Move 8 is a big deal, especially with a infantry model. It can make it easy to flank (without wargs) and to redeploy your force.

If you are going for a theme I would agree with the others and drop the troll and heavily armored warriors. I feel like dont really fit in with the theme that you appear to be going for. I play a fellow in my local store with a very competitive scout list. Its always a good game and there is no doubt that a scout army can be effective and deadly.

Ugluk is only good if you have orcs, whereas Lurtz has a bow and a shield. You can either tell your opponent that you're going to drop the bow, bumping his defence up one, or you can use the shielding rule to keep him alive if you're up against a tough opponent.
