Dps is fine in that radio is longer range so that gives your minimum dps that can chew down most long range orbiters. I run radio (longest), infrared, xray, multifreq for multiple ranges - all amarr ammo for the +20% damage.
Pulse weaps are shorter range but are heavier dps than beam - fine. I think skills will add little more range. Can get some that orbit around 50km like Cardinals/Pope etc in amarr space. I did strike a high bounty and fast moving Guristas in Gal space that wanted to orbit at 60km which my abaddon couldn't drop - but that is very rare (I didn't have the heat sinks at the time either).
2x LAR's - overkill for most lvl 4's. Run 1 and more heat sinks for more dps. Im guessing the hardners changed each mission vs the enemy your facing? I too would drop the DC2 as it stacks with your hardners, ie its your 3rd explosive hardner.
Myself I run 1x LAR, couple of amarr energized adaptives and no active hardners and dont need to swap any hardners between missions. Sure, active hardners are better, but the passive is enough for lvl 4's and saves me thinking about fitting. Finish with heat sinks and cap power relay if still low on cap. I mostly just sit at warp in point or at next gate and shoot from a point, so easier salvaging/looting with support ship. Moving will reduce dps a lot if not being webbed (hence drones).
An amarr LAR or True Snasha LAR will give a bit more saftey margin, but at a cost in isk. Amarr/True sansh heat sinks give that bit more dps than plain heat sink II's also.
I prefer to run a burner so can move the ship quicker myself. I add a webber to slow any close battleships etc orbiting like 1500 mtr
Load 5x light drones for frigates. yes hammerheads will kill the frigates, but hobs will chew frigates like interceptors with 30k bounties much better.
Watch your agro, will be fine. If dont know the mission, read a guide/listen to advice till have done enough to know it. In amarr space need to watch AE4 bonus room and EA5/5 - is about all that you can't tank easily with 1x LAR if watch your agro. EA is a faction mission so I skip anyway so my factional standings stay more neutral.
