I fail to see how the base DPS is even a concern since 90% of people fly with some sort of tank, and most of them will be armor tanking omni-tanks.
Fleet setups don't use tanks, and fleet setups are where you'd be using these weapons. Next whine?
Really, I'm sure nobody in a fleet would ever fit an omni tank and some passive plates to help up their survivability by a factor of three. Nope, nobody, ever.
If they know anything about fleet combat, no... not really. If you've got nothing else to fit, then sure. But actually trying to tank in fleets?

In my "fleet" example I am refering to much smaller groups. However, I used to fit an Omni Tank on my battleships back in my BoB days, didn't lose a single one because that small buffer gave me just enough time to get out.
The reason you got out then was because not enough people alpha striked you. Omnitank won't save you in fleet battles, incompetent enemies will. The original point is valid.
Anyone fitting omnitanks in fleets are just wasting resources when it's just for BS-level hitpoints and below. You need to get up to capital ship levels for omnitanks to make any sort of difference and even there organized fleets kill them ridicously easy.

Not every single BS Gang Fight is necessary a hundred man fleet shooting annother hundred man fleet. In a smaller engagement at range that omni tank WILL help you survive longer.
I'm not questioning it'll help you in skirmishes. But you were talking about fleet fights. Someone commented that you don't generally fit omnitanks in fleet fights because they don't help much, and the tactical gain is small in most circumstances. Which is true.
Solo -> Skirmish -> Bigger skirmish -> Fleet fight -> Humongously big fleet fight -> Mothership fight -> Titan fight -> e-peen fight ^^;.
