I like where you're going. However, I'd probably start both elves and fetch Aragorn with Prancing Pony. Sure, it adds a ton of twilight, but you'd probably be alright for the first turn anyway. I don't like Hosts of the Last Alliance very much, not Curse Their Foul Feet, I think Sting does the job quite nicely. I'd probably consider actually losing Arwen completely for Sam, Proper Poet, because he ROCKS combined with Stealth effects early on. I'd play a second copy of Elrond (and change him for Lord of Rivendell), as well as Celeborn, and pack Thror's Map (Anduin Confluence hurts) and Bilbo to create a constant stream of hobbit cards. I'd probably play Might of Numenor and a set of Gondor Bowmen, as well as more gear for Aragorn and probably lose the pumps in favor of The Last Alliance of Elves and Men.

PS: You could also pack a Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence in there, just in case you face off against non-swarm shadows, so you can start him and Boromir, and IF you can find room, maybe a Diendal. Then again, if you're playing Moria Swarm, and pack the cicling Elrond and lose the events (maybe some PATHS, but that'd be it), you can probably get away with a slightly bigger deck, say 35 each.

Perhaps I'm missing something... What is a slim moria?

I thought it is clear: "Slim Moria Swarm" means to play such a huge amount of [Moria] minions, that the ringbearer gets overwhelemed, without needing more than 32 cards in your shadow deck

So you play 32 minions?  Cheap minions?

To swarm the opponent's ringbearer usually means to play a lot of cheap minions. Although they are very weak, together,  [Moria] minions are really nasty.

4 Goblin Sneak
4 Goblin Backstabber
4 Goblin Runner
4 Goblin Scavengers
4 Goblin Scimitar
2 Goblin Swarms
2 Goblin Armory
2 Cave Troll of Moria, Scourge of the Black Pit
2 The Balrog, Flame of Udun
2 Moria Scout
2 Host of thousands

You don't need Trolls, and you CERTAINLY don't need a second Balrog.

Here are the things you need to improve for your shadow:
- Crowd control (I suggest Ulaire Nertea)
- Survive against archery decks... Use Goblin Wallcrawler, more Goblin Armory... I usually like to mix Isengard Orcs (Isengard Warrior) with my Moria decks. Also, make sure you use the site 7 that skips the archery phase (I have seen too many Moria players not using it on GCCG).
- Where are They are coming and Relics of Moria?

Honestly, I've never used a Moria deck that had less than 35 cards.
