I have lost 3 Megathrons and a Celestis to missions, for a total of over 500 million isk, i know your pain. The last time i got 5X scrammed in a mega in one mission. 
Though I have gotten alot better naturally do to trial and error.

Reminds me of a time not too long ago I was doing a mission in a Vindicator (no money for a proper mission BS atm, leave me alone...) and I warped into the last room of Worlds Collide. It was versus the Serpentis, but I was fitted to tank Angels.
You already know the room doesn't fully aggro anymore, but I had to feel my heart beat in my mouth as I watched my hull HP drop more and more as I prayed for my hobby2s to kill the scrammer frigates keeping me from warping to safety....
Luckily, I got out, else I would've been in the same state you were. :)

I lost a Domi once because I started a mission and forgot to turn on the reppers and went AFK. I cant remember what mission it was, but It wasn't a particularly hard one and I had AFK'd it many times before once grabbing room aggro. I blame too much time sitting in a passive Drake on my main.
If you see a Domi named "Turnonthereppernoob" flying around thats the replacement ship

Why the comments about anger management?
This is EVE-Online he's talking about.
I get so angry that I beat up my gf just from having to travel 5+ jumps in something bigger than my pod.

After a few losses I had invested most my isk in a mission Rokh and the most expensive modules I could afford. Being a semi newb I got in trouble in a mission in Torrinos and had to warp out to the closest thing I could find, the EP gate into 0.0.
I sat there safely for about 10 seconds, then somehow my mind must have seen a station where there was a gate, cause i absently clicked the jump button thinking it was the dock button. Next thing I know i was in 0.0 10 km from gate in the middle of a camp with my shield down to 5-10%.
I remember I thought: Haha this is one of those times were some newb has done something really stupid.

I twice refrained myself in the last second from smashing my fist into the monitor and then hurling the (cordless) mouse across the room into the wall.
Then my gf phoned I decided better not take the call in my current state..
I had a smoke outside thinking I would delete the char and then slowly calmed down a little....
So and now new players especially pay attention:
The good news is, your not alone.
Over the past years, I too have faced similar situations. More notably, with a multi-billion Marauder(wasn't paying attention) and before I knew it, the DPS overwhelmed my repper while jammed. Needless to say... I was able to reassign my drones and take out the ships, however it wasn't until I was well into structure(30'ish %) before I was able to warp to safety, flaming trails behind me! - Thank god for that damage control module!
Point is... it can happens to anyone if we aren't careful. There are several missions that can run over 3000dps, and so it doesn't take much to get into trouble under these types of conditions.
So in short, work those resists and defense skills.
Invest in better modules, and add implants wherever possible.
And most of all... get those godly drone skills together(for all serious mission runners).
Good luck and don't smash to much hardware :)

The laser is just for activating the aggro so that the drones will not be called as primary.

That would probably be in room 2 that it happened.
When you warp in you MUST NOT set your drones (read- dominix = wrong ship) to attack anything that first aggros you - just the 3 ships: 1 bs, 2x warp scram frigs. If you put out drones the whole room aggros. That, sir, was your mistake. Drones = no no no no dont do it ima telling you dont do it in room 2.
ps: in case you didnt know, when you fly to the warp gate in room 2 always fly past it to the far side. If you warp on the near side you end up on the wrong side in room 3 where everything can aggro you.
I currently farm WC's Level 4 and while your above quote does hold some truth, it's not fully correct. When you warp into WC, the group that is guarding the broken star gate will switch aggro from you to your drones every time. The other group does not.
Now on to the next room, room 2. When you warp in, let the initial group aggro and make sure you have all the locks. Once you have them, you are free to send out drone without any additional aggro from the other pockets. And like all other missions, recall drones before locking and aggroing the next pocket and you'll be fine. I run this in a Domi all day long and haven't had my drones aggro any unwanted groups. Although, if your drones hit the 'Spy', you'll have 5 dead drones in seconds.

How'd I do it? Worlds Collide, slothing my way to the serp group in the first room and had to make dinner. I stopped my ship (or so I thought) 120km away from the serps and made dinner. Come back to find my pod floating in the middle of the serp group, surrounded by my wreckage. D:
I'm thankful I got my CN BCUs back, but why oh why did all my CN launchers have to go?
