I feel like Vampire Nighthawk is too good to not run, though I like your T2 aggressive plays if you hit your Arbor Dorks. I also feel like you're missing an opportunity by not playing Blind Obedience and Tragic Slip and Orzhov Charm .

I'm working on a list myself and haven't playtested it yet though, it looks like your creature list pretty much matches mine.
Limited Guidelines:

5.0: I will take this card no matter what: Pack Rat
4.5: Bomb and/or splashable creature or removal: Aetherling
4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors: Advent of the Wurm
3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Gaze of Granite
3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature: Ascended Lawmage
2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad
1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Wake the Reflections )
1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land: Murmuring Phantasm
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in: Uncovered Clues
0.0: I will shred this card for counters: Possibility Storm

I tried nighthawk but my meta has a lot of olivia so he would get stolen most of the time. I might side board him for the decks that don't run her. So far it's been fun going t1 dork, t2 smiter, t3 mangler swing and selesnya charm the mangler if they try to spear it or have a 3 power blocker.

I had also tried blind obedience but it seemed too slow to me since i'm putting down big threats for the mana they require so i almost always have bigger creatures than my opponent, but if your meta has plenty of haste i can see you running it. Btw ghost council is a beast of a card and fun to play with, just remember if your opponent has azzorius charm, never attack with him since they can bounce him and most likely counter him when played again. Just keep flipping him. When you get your list done post it up, i feel like people don't give JUNK as much love as they should.

if you're running just one mana dork, then avacyn's pilgrim is better than arbor elf since it will be far more consistent.

dreg mangler feels out of place in this deck. 
Blue is the best color ever.  How do you deal?

I might give the pilgrim a try if arbor elf is too inconsistent which thankfully hasn't happened yet but still an option. Also dreg mangler is a beast in this deck and has helped me win many a match, especially after a board wipe. His scavenge effect is pretty good too later in the game, btw i have also thought about maybe geralf's messenger over the mangler if i can somehow figure out the mana base to make it a consistent thing since i'm running resto angel.
