This Dramiel balance seems needed and not exaggerated...
Would have used "boringly reasonable" but I reckon yours does the trick just as well.
Suppose that means that CCP are not in the tears business after all .. always sad when a God takes no pleasure from the little things

Personally, I agree that the speed of the dram is not really the problem... its the tank and dps it has at the same time.....
Yet it all comes back to the speed.
Their speed is a big part of the tank and tracking bonus allows them to go full tilt constantly with not a care in the world.
The suggested changes are huge if you are experienced in fighting them. They will not only be slower but more sluggish .. orbits will widen and escape attempts slowed due to poorer acceleration.
I would have tweaked grid to disallow the DP abuse, to force some sort of choice, but mass increase will do nicely .. my Slicer can now drop 1 tracking rig for some more oomph which is of more value against everything else so I am content 
PS: Big problem is that they will no longer have such a clear advantage so people may start flying the much deadlier DD instead .. dammit!

...Next, assault frigates ? They are looking very feeble now compared to the faction frigs...very sad.
Never mention AFs!
Think some of the devs still have nervous ticks from the last time when they thought they had the answer only to have it torn apart on SiSi
It's a bridge class, crammed in between frigates and cruisers with prey/predators in either category .. "fixing" them will require more than a tweak or two I fear.

I never got why the AFs with the boosted oversized ABs was such a big deal. Yeah they'd go fast, but they wouldn't have any agility to turn or kite or do, you know, frigate things.
It wasn't so much the oversized hilarity but more the fact that it made the difference between good AFs and bad AFs a lot more pronounced.
Think about how bad for balance the Dramiel is due to being able to go 2k/s on AB .. now apply that same game breaking speed to Jags/Wolves/Ishkurs/et al.
AF boost will have to be a thorough revision of the individual ships as any bulk-fix will inevitably make half of them worthless and the other half broken

...Slower than fleet ceptors, btw.  ..
If you want to compare speeds to "fleet interceptors" then you have to use comparable fits. An interceptor has to use two speed mods just to match the drams speed with mwd .. two slots on a frigate is a massive sacrifice.
