as someone who flew about 1000 dominixes over the years, I don't really see a problem with gallente ships themselves.
I only see problem with blasters - which is a known issue.
Also I'd argue that even now, the Dominix is very competitive ship and does not need any boosting. Megathron on other hand..
I don't believe that Gallente should take over Minmatar on speed role.
Gallente role should be high damage at close range. That can only be achieved if CCP can get over their fear of increasing offensive power.
I believe the current problems with Gallente are a direct result of CCP game designer's damage-phobia. They let their personality flaws influence the game negatively.

my point is: fix blasters, fix rails. Then reevaluate gallente ships.
Don't put the cart ahead of the horse

Believe me, a flat 20% damage increase for all blasters (free damage mod) will make Megathron and other blaster boats very desirable - at least on part with anything else.
Even tho the tracking sucks, range sucks, cap sucks, grid + cpu requirements suck, it'll all be worth it the extra damage.

On the topic of rigs:
I could live with rigs having more "easy", "pragmatic" or "whatever" reasons...something like:
Armor Rigs have a penalty to shield amount and regen
Shield Rigs come with a penalty to armor and hull amount
Drone Rigs should be like weapon rigs (better drone equipment on the ship requires more grid, right?)
From a RPing point of view it's totally feasible - more armor (armor rigs) means you have to drop shield support systems (shield HP and regen) and shield rigs means you need to drop some armor and hull plating in order to install those shield enhancements.
As far as rigs go, it would have been much more reasonable to set Shield rigs with speed penalty. Just like armor rigs. Speed penalty is something people actually care about in PvP. Nobody cares about sig, especially on Drake.
Alternatively, tanking rigs could have penalty to damage output - that'd make people think twice.
