i used 5 WG with jump packs and SS early in 8th
combi plasma is ok for alpha strike
i ended up preferring combi flamers though
I could advance and still fire...or i could combi fire at BS4 and flamer auto hits anyway
the flame guard made great objective hunters and i also sent them against culexis assassins and even flyers (they killed a 2 wound remaining xiphon in a tournament once)
defensively they are fragile
SS discourage the easy kills with powerful weapons but i have had many games i rolled bad and lost the entire unit to las guns or other mass cheap fire (another reason i made them chaff hunters...to eliminate threats to them)
I stopped using them because they aren't the most point friendly unit and my army went in a different direction
But they are extremely flexible so that gives you many options during a game

128 points will get 5 storm bolter so 10 S4 shots at 24" or 20 at 12". You get 5 T4 3++ wounds.
123 points will get you 3 bolter Inceptors so 18 S5 AP-1 shots at 18" and 9 T5 3+ wounds.
You get more (and heavier) dakka with the Inceptors and more higher toughness wounds. You lose the invulnerable save and the melee punch but Wolves are not short of units that can tear up the opponents in melee so I would say dedicating some points to Inceptors is not a bad idea.

It was as though Sanguinius gleamed with pale light, his face white, eyes becoming blood-red, surrounded by the golden crown of flowing hair. Guilliman had witnessed glimpses of of his brother's wrath before, but had never seen the true Blood Angel unleashed. Sanguinius surged forward on alabaster wings, half a meter from the floor, whiteness streaming from him like flames.

Before PA7 or any other points adjustment, wolf guard on bike is still a good choice for dakka.
Alpha terminators can shot twice and have BS+1. If wolf guard terminator got same rule, they would be best shooty unit. Combi-plasma with 2W 2+ 3++.
