Drakes aren't the problem, it's passive shield tanking that the issue. It's unbalanced vs every other form of tanking.
Some examples:

Read a blog about the very subject:

Obviously there are problems with server lag but that's just abusing the system and can be done with any ship in large enough quantity. Passive tanking avoids lag problems because the tank requires little to no player management to run effectively.

Which is why everybody passive shield tanks, and almost nobody armor tanks?
It's not that armor tanking doesn't work, it's the fact that passive shield tanking works better, even on some armor tanking specific ships (as per my example).
And it's not just passive tanking, that's just one piece of a very large and complex puzzle. But for the issue of the drake and it being "overpowered", passive shield tanking is, IMO, one of the major factors in why the drake is so widely seen as such.

Wall of text.
The drake is NOT overpowered. It just abuses a system that is already broken.

Thanks for letting us know in advance you have no idea what you're talking about.
You don't passive tank Drakes for PVP.
Those fits you linked, along with passive Drakes in general, are mission ships.
Please stay the **** out of nerf debates until you learn basic terminology.
Thanks for letting me know you are a tool. People can and do passive tank drakes for PVP. It's more cookie cutter than putting 3 tri-marks on a RR ship. It's not like they don't have other gang members to tackle, or does everyone in EVE fly around solo?
The fits I linked are not mission ships, they are LOL fits to show how stupid the tanking is. Pay more attention to the point of the arguement instead of being a total douche bag. Please STFU until you learn that not everyone has the same opinion as you, tool.
