Speaking as a wood elf, the free wood is only in Pitched Battles and my Wood Elf army gets no woods at all on the table more than half the time. (we use 6th ed scenarios an terrain placement/selection rules and wood elf rules apply to woods and forests only, not jungle, not brush, scrub, oases,...)
No single rule annoys me, instead it is the shoddy writing and inconsistent wording in general which results in ambiguity too often.

) While it COULD make more sence that the dwarfs get MR instead of the 2 DD, it could make the magic phase very difficult for the Dwarfs. Runesmiths are the only source of DD after the basic dice are considered and Anvil of Doom aside they are pretty useless. Unlike the normal Wizard they provide no tactical assistance to the army and they can not affect anything outside of CC. Enemy characters can usually beat them easily in combat. So in order to have any real magic defense they would have to spend a lot of points on characters which have limited influence on the battle field. Obviously the 1 extra DD for each unit is useful, it is a lot of extra point which will be wasted unless the enemy casts a single spell at each dwarf unit (unlikely). Furthermore Dwarfs major weakness is the movement phase, having a lesser defense against move spells could be drastic to say the least.
