For Isengard: You have got about 300 pts for a scout army if you take the wildmen, uruk scouts, uruk commanders and some orcs. You should have a good ratio of archers there too but would just be looking to add some harder hitting troops or hero like warg riders or Saruman. The beserkers/crossbow could go ok, just is more themed towards a non scout army. I would add in the beserkers.
For Mordor: Again another pretty well balanced list, about 500 points or more. Shagrat, troll, captains, orcs, mordor uruks. Morgul knights I'm not sure about what lists they are used with, but should do a good job. Morgul stalkers are also a nice pick up as far as I'm concerned. What you'd be looking to pick up here are probably ringwraiths, maybe gothmog and possibly some orc trackers. This pretty much depends on what amount of pts you'd have. Its got a very solid core and should be able to go toe to toe or better with other elite troops but doesn't have a lot to deal with heroes. I think a Shaman or 2 would also be good to have.
Dol Guldur: You have the makings of a list here. I don't have the book for this so can't help out, but again you'd only be looking to add a hero as you have the spiders, bats, castellans, orcs, spectres.
Harad: You have a few good elite things here but not much backbone. Pick up some Harad warriors or a mumak and it makes its own list otherwise combine it with your Mordor force and you would have a pretty good army needing just the hero (though you already have one on horseback). Its a little soft at the moment though so it might hit hard but wouldn't take much to break it. You would use the black numenoreans, serpent guard, mahud, khandish troops etc with this army. It would be your choice what you want to make out of this - you can go pure harad pretty easy, harad/umbar/khand or harad/easterling which would give you some stronger core infantry.
Gondor: You have all the core troops/allies you need but you would need to choose what theme you like to go down in order to get the rest. You have aragorn & gandalf, you might think about getting boromir and some captains. You are missing the elite sections for this army really but that could be filled by army of the dead. I'm not really a fan of citadel guard but most people will get them because they have better shoot value and decent defence, but its a fair investment of $$ when you already have troops with bows, which is why you need to decide what you want. Similarly if you wanted to add fiefdoms, you are looking at a significant investment. I would just got for a bulked out army of infantry and a few heros (boromir, aragorn) along with banners and captains as you should be able to outlast a lot of things. Gondor doesn't have a lot to deal with elites or heroes other than by charging into melee, so you'd need to pick your targets carefully. Probably the simplest choice would be to ally some rohan riders in and pick a rohan leader to go with it or go for prince imrahil and some swan knights who are a little tougher, but more expensive. What are the gondor archers you have in blisters? 2nd age?
As for a 2nd age list, you have some warriors, just get a hero like elrond and your set. If you wanted a rivendell force, just take use the high elves, some wood elves, the dunedain from guardains of the shire and add heros again like aragorn, elrond, elladan/elrohir, thranduil and so on, whoever is to your liking.
Rohan: add some riders, get some heros. not a huge difference between them so going for whoever you like most should still work out.
So to summarise: get some hero troops! There is an army builder around somewhere which will help you put it together but you still need to get the new sourcebooks.
