Your fit will be a gank magnet, and as said, it's probably overtanked. If you're worried about cap use, switch to faction tachs. You lose about 2.5% DPS in return for reducing cap use by 25%. In terms of the actual number of shots required to kill the rats, the difference is negligible.
I used a faction AB, faction tachs and a T2 tank on my 'mare, and I didn't use a cap booster either. In fact I think one of the hardeners was a named one for a long while because I couldn't be bothered to change it. The Nightmare literally murders the rats so fast they barely get a chance to damage you in 90% of missions. In the end I put a Pith B-type XL on it because I just felt the ship deserved it, and they're pretty cheap for what is effectively a T2 booster with a free boost amp built in.
As well as being convenient for those missions where you have to trudge 50Km to the gate, the domi AB is also a useful tracking mod...
If you want to spend some ISK on your Nightmare, get a rack of +5% hardwirings; +5% RoF (slot 7), +5% energy turret damage (slot 10), +5% tracking (slot 9), along with +5% cap recharge (slot 6) and capacitor (slot 8).
The RoF and tracking implants especially will bring your real damage up more than is at first obvious. The fit I had when I sold it was this (plus the above implants), and it was capable of doing any mission with ease. I'm not even saying that it's the totally optimal fit, only that there is no mission you will not be able to do in it.

Sell the X-type stuff and use the ISK to buy hardwirings and cheap faction stuff. Keep the change and use it towards whatever goal you're missioning to fund.
