Being gallente and often involved in alot of PVP. After exploring the advantages/disadvantages of the drake, I have decided it would be very worthwhile to train it and fly it with a passive shield tank.
Firstly looking at the offense side. Missiles don't use cap, and range isn't an issue as long as your within range, close or far they do the same damage of course depending on ship size/ size missile.
Secondly comparing an armor tank to a passive tank even a basic one, a bare minimum passive tank will beat the armor tank hands down each time and still have slots for a web + scrambler or a scrambler + mwd/AB whatever.
An MAR II repping 320 every 9 seconds = 35.5/second armor repaired. A duel MAR 2 setup = 70/s.
I've decided the best use for the passive tank is to compliment a gang, you'll have no point, but you can tank like a mofo and combined damage with gang mates is good enough to take out the opponents. Or you could always drop one mid slot fitting for that valuable point if you solo or the gang is small and your scramble point is needed.
Currently as per my powergrid cpu issues. Ive explored the following fitting in quickfit.
6x arb launchers
3x LSE II, 2x Invul Field II, Photon Scattering field
4x SPR II
it gives me resists of 75/83/75/69 without shield compensation skills. Total shield hp = 16012 at 119 recharge a second. Which is 2/3 better than a dual rep MAR II setup.
If you've got isk you could put on 3 core defense field purger and get 254/s which is prolly the equivelant to dual LAR II reps on a Hyperion with 3 nano pump rigs. (rep amount)

100 and slight with my skills. But like I said. imagine 20 of these things together with a couple tacklers. It is bad dps yes, I said that. OR the inability to fit other useful modules in mid slots.

as always, it is very wise to other opinions. :)
Noting what people have said about the Myrmidon, I don't see how repping 70/s can compare to the drakes tank... I won't argue the dps issue or the fact that the tank is still good on the myrm with great dps...
