While I respect your opinions and value your suggestions, I fear that it is you who might have misunderstood the purpose of this thread. The question I presented was never "Should I go with a BC or a BS" - my mind is firmly set on moving up to a BS. The question was, quite explicitly, "Which of these two options are, in your opinion, better?"
Your call. In the end, any BS in an L3 is going to rely far more on drones than can possibly be efficient (which in turn makes the Dominix the only truly good L3 BS).
I'll say it once more anyhow: a BC will be better in L3s, period. T2 guns or no T2 guns.
To make a BS work, though, you need to address tracking. Big time. Two TCs would be one way. A web and an AB would be another way. Without some sort of solution in front of you, large guns -- and recall, pulses have the worst tracking of all short range turrets -- will struggle horribly to track the majority of targets in L3 missions.
(Of course another way around the problem would be to fit medium guns on a BS, but as that ignores the hull bonus there's no reason to do so unless for whatever reason you really, really want to overtank.)

That much I know, but I'd actually wager that my support skills are quite up to par. Tank-wise, my skills won't really get any better than they are (only missing Mechanic V to the "Armor Tanking Improved" certificate). Turrets can use a little improvement, but I think the DPS presented with the above fits should make a fine start. TO be honest, most, of not all, skills directly related to this ship is at either IV or V.
I'd wager otherwise; I'm pulling 568 dps at 20+11 from your fit without drones (665 with Hobgoblin IIs). And the tracking is still iffy.
But all that is kinda moot. If you're set on your path scrap what you have any maybe look at something along these lines:

Tank is way more than adequate and between the AB and the TCs you should be able to swat targets a bit more efficiently.
