Anybody know anybody who flies this ship in combat as their 'no. 1' ship?
I guess I am looking for peeps who actually know how to pilot and fit this ship properly.
So many cookie cutter fits out there and self proclaimed 'experts'

You either fit a buffer or you fit for pure jamming depending on what you are going to use the Rook for, fleet composition and role.
If you have a specific question, ask.

The best rook fit is usually hull tanked, with blasters.

You're gonna want logistics support and at least an LSE for buffer. Unfortunately you'll spend most of your combat time trying not to die :(

The Rook looks like such a cool ship... can it be successful solo roaming? Probably fit with 2-3 jammers, and the rest tank.

The rook has problems with multiple opponents, it's just too slow to kite about picking its targets and lacks the tank to take any kind of a beating if your ECM fails. It's great 1 vs 1 against against other cruisers but you've got to have a lot of patience to find other solo cruisers who are either willing to fight you or too stupid to get out of your way.
Where it shines is in small gang combat, if two gangs of 5 players start to fight and one side warps a rook in the enemy FC's going to have an oh **** moment. It's a wonderful sledgehammer to have hiding on the other side of a gate.

The only time I see a Rook shine is when it is used to help someone make vids of them in a solo Nightmare.

3 x Multispec ECM II
IIRC, 3x Racial > 3x Multispec, unless you come up against the one race who's ECM you haven't packed. Not saying your fit is bad or wrong ... I'm just saying it for reference sake!
Also, Meta4 ECM have the same jam strength as T2, but have better fitting, cap use and tend to be cheaper than T2.

A fit that I have been thinking about trying in gangs is
[Rook, Better Cerb than Cerb is]
Ballistic Control System II

Ballistic Control System II
Photon Scattering Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
ECM - Multispectral Jammer II
10MN MicroWarpdrive I
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Widowmaker Heavy Missile
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Widowmaker Heavy Missile
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Widowmaker Heavy Missile
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Widowmaker Heavy Missile
Heavy Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Widowmaker Heavy Missile
Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Warrior II x5
Gets the same EHP (~43k EHP), slightly more DPS /w drones (359 with my skills using faction and Warrior II's) and the same missile speed as a cerb. But about 10 mil cheaper for the hull, and get a spot for a bonused ECM or ECM burst for GTFOing, or a point or TP or something else usefull.
Only problem is you're going to be primary anyway because you're in an ECM boat :<

As far as ECM goes...
There is nothing the Rook can do that a Falcon could not do better.
Even a Blackbird has more range than both the Rook and Falcon, and in some cases is more survivable because of that fact.
I really do want to fly the Rook, but sadly it was the ship that should of kept at least 1/2 of its previous ECM range.
I hope someone will post a good fit for you, but I have given up on that ship.
