It looks like the Warp Ray is a kind of artillery unit specialized for taking down anything with a lot of hit points. Like the Colossus, the Warp Ray has a continuous wave beam weapon, but there are substantial differences. Whereas the Colossus' weapon stays on all the time, doing "splash" damage to units in the arc between its targets, the Warp Ray's weapon turns off while acquiring a target and takes time to focus on its target (bringing up to 3 streams of energy to bear on the target). The Colossus seems to be good against massed infantry (zerglings, marines, etc.) due to the sweeping of its weapon. The Warp Ray is effective only when it can concentrate on a target. I would imagine that a number of smaller units like Wraiths could swarm the Warp Rays and take them down easily, especially if the targeted Wraiths kept flying out of range, forcing the Warp Rays to select new targets.
