Your setup looks fairly solid, though I'd go with a better named shield booster and an extra resist instead of the second SBA. But that won't explain your issues so I'm guessing they can be found in your skills. Do you have good missile support skills? Including the ones for improving damage against targets with a small signature and high speed? And how about your Caldari BS level?
Also, don't expect a Raven to tank as well as a Drake (except when going all out faction) but you should be able to clear targets faster so you only have to pulse your booster.

I definitely went into this knowing the Raven tank was not going to be like the Drake tank, but I thought the DPS from cruise missiles would be a lot better than the Drake DPS, which isn't happening.
DPS from cruises is a lot better, so yeah it must be a skill issue or a piloting issue. Focus your missiles on the big damage dealers, let your drones deal with frigates and move down/up from there. You don't NEED a target painter for cruises in my opinion but it will help so you could drop the second SBA for a target painter too.

My support skills are at IV and the CM skill is at III so I don't have access to the higher tier support skills yet.
I figured this would be a skill issue. I'm just not really sure what to focus on first to make the Raven a better performer than the Drake.
You could post your eveboard link.

It's password protected. But anyway, work on your battleship level and support skills and the damage will climb quickly.

It's fixed, but yeah, I need to get back on those.
You're completely lacking guided missile precision, so there's your problem. Also get Caldari BS to at least level 3 asap for a big damage increase.

In terms of tanking you're missing Shield Compensation entirely.
Good catch.
Kraven I also think you should plug in the advanced weapon upgrades skill since you meet the prereqs anyway. And getting the specific shield compensation skills (like em shield compensation) to level 2 would be helpful too if you ever find yourself capped out.

Considering he is using active hardners, why bother?
E: he's got a lot more important skills to focus on right now.
Well getting all 4 of them to level 2 takes a couple of hours at most and will help you in a tight spot when capped out after accidently running your booster for too long.
