They are indeed very effective. Sadly this means limited options for the time being if you want to be effective, particularly for soloers.
It's not the end of the world quite yet but it won't take long for these to be utterly commonplace. I thoroughly expect a rebalancing at some point, particularly for dual ASB type setups.

Furthermore, an XL-ASB Ferox isn't exactly going to have high damage, or be able to hold most ships down easily if it's relying on backup. It's no worse than baiting with a brick Drake except the tank won't hold.
It's possible you simply got outplayed by thinking 'lol Ferox'. Live and learn.

That's actually my screenshot after 5 minutes of EFT warrioring right there 
It's got a nice tank sure, but you shouldn't be ruinning both ASB's at once so it tanks for more than 30 seconds, but don't look at the EFT numbers too literally 
It's amusing that these days 200+ rocket DPS is regarded as low for a frigate.
The main disadvantage of this setup, and it's a significant one, is the lack of an mwd. Yes that em hole is pretty bad too 
So far I have only had one engagement in it but it was the most amusing fight I have had in ages. It started with busting up a mining operation, nearly killing the Drake that came in to defend it but losing it due to my PC overheating (#1), then tussling with a fed comet and the same Drake before overheating again (#2) then finally losing it on my third login to an Enyo and Vengeance mostly through bad module management, target calling and generally being in a mild flap over my crappy computer shutting down on me. Was great fun!
Had I not had the 2 crashes I might have got an extra comet, enyo, vengeance and drake kill but that was just a wierd engagement in the first place

Fair enough, they are both active in that screen. I fully expect these modules to be rebalanced, and hopefully soon. I can see them being considered mandatory and limiting the viability of many other ships.
In the meantime they are great for soloing but once larger fleets start employing them it's going to be ridiculous.
