If you make it too small any soul shard spawner will spawn mobs outside of the wall. Make it 9Lx9Wx7D and you should be fine, problem with an enderman farm is they can tele out. If you use MFR grinders to kill them it should be fine, alternatively encase the outside of the wall in water to stop them from tele'ing.
Couple of hints from when I did use them the odd time, endermen do not like water so snow/ice or water curtain for walls keep them in at all times, 7x7 is fine but 9x9 works better, if you do not wish to use ice or water a 3 block thick wall/floor/ceiling works fine too, helps stop the odd one escaping.
PS, that was valid in the last version I used back in 147 or something, but should be still valid.

yes with a soul shard its not a problem to have an ender farm in over world, my personal favorite was the quick sand trap, as its easy to setup & does not need even a single turtle, but that one does not give xp.
Are you trying to make an xp farm or just to get ender pearls?
If all you want is pearls, then just make a shaft that is 9x9 and about 40-50 tall/deep/which ever (maybe less) with the spawner 3 blocks below the ceiling and water all around and just to double make sure they don't teleport out make sure there are no caves that are 3 tall within a 20-30 block radius. They will take full fall damage and you can collect the pearls with ease.
Just another idea is all.

Do you know of any good tutorials?[DOUBLEPOST=1379782513][/DOUBLEPOST]
Im wanting both.. I have made one in vanilla before when u can adjust the floor level with so they either die on impact or take 1 hit when switched.. Im wondering with FTB is there an alternative as that can take a while to set up.
I am sure there is just test the fall rates to see what works best, to be honest I forget the max fall before death I think it was 28 but cant say for sure.
As to tuts maybe google will help, the quicksand trap is easy, I used a golum to pick up & drop pearls in a ender chest, worked like this, a 3 high 9x9 with the cage & t5 in the centre one block over quicksand level, the floor is a layer of quicksand the enderem spawn on sand & are trapped will slowly suffocating, under the quicksand layer you have a 2.5 high room with a chest or ender chest & a golum to pick up all & dump in chest, the ss can have a lever under it or wire/cable to a lever (thats easy to hide)
The idea is that the endermen can spawn on or in quicksand but not get away, with a 2.5 room under it you are totally safe at all times, I have done some other more interesting & a little more advanced versions of this build, but for now that basic build works & is easy to setup, if you dont have TC you can use another form of item collection as your mod dictates, you didnt say pack & version but I take it that RP or TC will be in one.

Im using the Unleashed pack and after having a quick look in the NEI it doesn't look like I have quick sand..

I seem to remember seeing quicksand in deserts, will do a quick check & report back in a sec.
Edit: yep quicksand is in Unleashed is found in desert biome.
oh :/ ill have another look them[DOUBLEPOST=1379785147][/DOUBLEPOST]
what version are u on? As ive flew over 3 desert biomes already and it simply cannot be found lol. I remember seeing it on Ultimate.. its brown looking and was in like a mass tree biome.
quicksand only appears on deserts if you have biomes o plenty installed and enabled.
Grinders are a very efficient way to collect the pearls, or a long long drop (endermen have like 40hp)
