Unfortunately, that is so niché and such a small part of the Dark Elf arsenal, that it really wont give you much power.

A better way to get better spiders, would be to make a Defiler or Lichelord, or use a Ssrathi as a hero, and simply summon them at a higher level(8 Spiderqueens and 8 spiders) though poison magic. For 50 mana, and the Dark elves ability to increase mana regen from buildings, you can cast it fairly often(spiderqueens have a nasty habit of producing offspring though :) ).

Alternatively, a Retinue of high level spider priestesses can summon high level spiderqueens, allowing your hero to focus on other stuff. With the mana upgrades, this can also be done fairly regularly, so you wont need to produce any spiders the regular way.
