WHY...? just.. WHY?
Raven - buffed.
Scorpion - buffed.
Navy Drake - introduced.
Drake - rebalanced, HAM Drakes work well.
Tengu - HML rebalanced the hull itself like all T3 is overpowered.
Caracal - buffed.
Moa - buffed (possibly my favourite blaster boat now).
OP I'm not really seeing reality in the same way as you are, please explain how you feel Caldari ships in general and the Raven in particular have been nerfed rather than just stating it to be so.

I really don't see what your problem is.
Lets take the Raven with Cruise now doing an extra 30% damage with faster base flight time added to the hulls bonuses this allows you to apply that damage far better than you were before and should more than makes up for the loss of a high slot.
You have increased PG and CPU allowing you better fitting options as well as an additional mid-slot and increased capacitor.
While you have lost some native tank you have gained extra speed a faster align time and a lowered sig radius .
As for HML's there range was excessive and gave to much of an advantage to missile spamming gangs, I do tend to think the DPS drop was a little on the high side but not enough to worry me. Try HAM Drakes, they are fun boats and do a good job unless of course you have personal problems with opponents actually being within effective combat range of you.
The fact is that Caldari ships are used more now in PvP (with the exception of the Drake and the Blackbird) than I have seen since I started playing the game. This rebalance has given the Raven a chance to crawl out fo the PvE oubliette it has languished in for years as the T1 cruiser rebalance brought the Caldari hulls back into the light.
If you don't want to see this then that is of course up to you to maintain your delusion of choice.

Try the Moa, honestly it really is a good ship now and I love it to bits.

I checked your killboard out of curiosity OP and as far as I can see you only use Ravens for structure bashing which considering the mass limitations on many statics is a bit of a waste. You could bring much more DPS in the form of Tier 3's to do the same job, Oracles are ideal and were standard kit with Guardian support for the job during my time in wormspace.
Why did you ever waste time lugging that thing into a hole, I can't bring myself to believe you squandered time, effort and resources actually building the thing in there.
