Sorry - above post was mine - this stupid account defaults to my alt instead of my main 
EDIT: I reply to the OP - yes, the Falcon badly needs some ECM love.
Infact, so do all force recons in general. They need to be much better than other ships at what they are supposed to be specialised for which is scouting cloaked, making cynos, and racial ewar. As penalties they should have sucky dps and poor tanks - which is indeed already the case.

I don't get your point man .. you should pit 3 brutix vs 3 drake if you want to make a fair comparison. But it sure as hell wouldn't be a fair fight either. Ooops did I say brutix ? I meant myrm with its better passive shield tank 
The 3 drake example was purely for illustration purposes. A gang made up solely of 3 caldari ships of the same type is actually pretty silly as it doesn't utilise the fact that their ships are super-specialised to perform a single role very well. That's why they suck at solo pvp where you have to tackle, do damage and tank all by yourself.
Take those 3 drakes, add some ewar (rook/bb!), some tacklers (crows!) and some additional firepower (cara/cerb) and you have a formidable gang indeed. Caldari shield tanks can withstand a lot of damage over a short period and their missiles can do variable damage over a wide range regardless of transversal. These are both good for gang warfare but less useful/important when solo.
In short, if you're a team player they have a lot to offer. Just don't undock without a buddy, or two 
EDIT: And as a follow to the excellent post from the rook pilot above, I have flown a BB for almost a year now and am finally also in a rook and I agree with him completely. ECM got nerfed, not fixed. It needs relooking at - specifically, the Falcon and ECCM badly need changes, as has already been stated in previous posts.
