First of all, congratulations on this great mod. Your dedication and love of the mod shows in every update. You guys seem to be both lovers of Middle Earth and excellent modders; a great combination, I would say. I see a lot of potential in this, so please keep it up and running! Don´t let it die! Besides, you are making a mod that will allow us to play with the stuff from the hobbit movies. And, strangely as it may sound, there´s few games in which you can play as, say, Thorin (the Lego game comes to mind right now, only...).
Point is, this mod, as many other BFME mods, is making something unique, in a sense. I must admit that I have a preference for this mod (and I´m sure I´m not the only one), mainly because of the attention to detail and the love for the movies´ designs.
So on to the suggestions:
How about adding the Nazgul designs from Dol Guldur? I mean, I´m not sure how will you implement the Necromancer, but maybe, aside from recruiting the black raiders, he could summon the Nine in Dol Guldur form for a limited time? Or maybe summoning them with a spell? I can provide a picture with six designs, if you like.
Remember, make a backup in USB of all mod files! 90 percent of the mods die because "my computer fried so I lost all files. Too bad for you fans."
Maybe add Thror and Thrain? Ok, I´m really desperate with these fellows, because no one wants to add them in their mod. Then again, summong the Last Alliance warriors (including Gil galad, Elendil...etc) seems contradictory. i really think it would fit for them to be in the mod, of course as a spell summoning or something along those lines. Maybe not in the next reléase, but, think about it...recreating the Azanulbizar battle? Yes, please! Just imagine moving King Thror around the map, killing orcs left and right with his Golden sword...
Ok, maybe I´m getting excited for no reason, but I would love for Thror and Thrain to be included in the mod; they are part of the movies, and besides, their armors are amazing, it would be sad to waste these designs 
Again, I can provide photos if necessary.
I know Girion is too much asking, but I am suggesting it anyways, maybe Bard could have Girion armor when he reaches lv 10?
I wouldn´t suggest for Thorin to have Thror´s armor, mainly because in the movie he fights with the lighter black one, and for a reason.
In the following days, I will try to make more helpful suggestions (I know this is more like a rambling, sorry for that, just had to express the thoughts going through my head).
Finally, couple questions:
Can somebody tell me the unit and hero roster for SEE directors Cut? At least a rough sketch, so I can provide more suggestions.
Would you guys advice me to play beta 4.5? Or would it be better to wait until the Directors Cut?
I wish you the best of luck, I hope this will turn into "a mod to remember", as one old hobbit once said 
.
