I like the idea and the conversions!
I think your points value is alright, but I agree with lorderkenbrand on some stat changes and rules. However, they're extremely cheap for what they do in the second profile: You can field four of those instead of one shade, and get double the range of the -1 rolling. Not to mention that they have better stats besides defense and wounds, and +1 wounding to elves. That's huge.
Here's my suggestion and why- maybe you can draw something from it.
F 4- They may be possessed, but they are, after all, Uruk workers.
S 5- I imagine they're a bit stronger than their brethren because their arms are branches and they are possessed, so I imagine they don't fatigue easily.
D 5- I imagine the possessed thing acts like a berserker with the mind-over-matter ignoring pain. Again, though, it's only a worker.
A 2- Makes enough sense to me.
W 1* - I like this idea, you should keep thing
C 6- Seems like a good courage value for someone possessed, but not quite frenzied like a berserker.

Rooted- The twisted branches melded with the possessed worker dig into the ground, making it very hard to move them. Cavalry models do not gain the extra attack or knock to the ground bonus when charging a possessed worker. They are also immune to the effects of the "Nature's Wrath" magical power.
However, because these branches make it difficult to move, a possessed worker only moves up to 4" per turn and makes jumping tests with a -1 penalty.
I'm thinking this is about 25-30 points, too. Let me know what you think.
Love the idea!
