Since the post is so large, I will reply here.
Nice made up numbers there. Even with Drones (which DO NOT Fing COUNT for dps calculations if your not EFT whoring) Your setup ends with:
EFT Whoring (which you obviously did)
78k EHP (Not 85k as you claim)
644 DPS with drones (not 750 as you claim)
545 DPS without drones.
Now, I will agree, this is a decent setup, and ive used similar before, I rather like it. (Slight diff in the mid slots) and it works well.
Please do not lie to protect your precious drakes. There are better ships out there, Drake is not the end all be all of ships, stop (not to the Zara) trying to make them so. go out and get a real ship.

Here is a setup I use for lowsec piracy with a fair amount of success:
3x Ballistic Control System II
1x Damage Control II
----------------------------------------
1x Named MWD
1x Large Shield Extender II
1x Warp Disruptor II
1x Sensor Booster (w/ Scan Res) -OR- Stasis Webifier II
2x Invulnerability Field II
----------------------------------------
7x Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II
1x Small Nos (Offline as a Heatsink)
----------------------------------------
2x Core Defence Field Extender
1x Anti-EM Shield Reinforcer
----------------------------------------
5x Hobgoblin II -OR- 5x Warrior II
This setup has about 85k effective HP, does more than 750dps with Rage HAMs and overheating, moves 1000m/s and can tackle. Great solo pirate ship for taking on fleets of cruisers, single or duo'd BCs or even solo BSs.
For PvP, I switch between this ship and a Myrmidon depending on the situation - the Drake is a better for larger targets, the Myrm has more utility midslots and can handle small ships much more effectively.
EDIT: I should add that this fit requires a +PG implant and VERY high level skills (Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV and Shield Upgrades V included). While the Drake can make a formidable solo pvp ship, it was not really designed to be. High level skills are really necessary to cover for its shortcomings. The Brutix, Myrmidon, Harby etc. all make much easier and more efficient (though I would argue, inferior) PvP ships SP wise.
