Part of the problem is the hitpoint buff. Beyond tech I frigates, destroyers and people not flying interceptors properly the Eagle doesn't really stand out from the crowd any longer. While the Muninn still has that initial alpha strike to make small ships and even assault frigates pay, the damage from an Eagle isn't significant enough to be enough of threat any longer. The Eagle is no longer a deadly threat to tech II ships beyond Interdictors.
The Eagle was hit harder by the hitpoint buff than any other tech II cruiser. Effectively the alpha strike got a stealth buff with the hitpoint buff (in comparison to high dps atleast). DPS at range means less now because the target has a significantly longer time buffer to improvise.
I don't believe the Eagle would be overpowered with a fifth turret. Too much emphasis is being placed on the use of range in modern Eve combat, both by CCP and some posters in this thread. Eve remains a close combat game in pretty much every circumstance bar fleet battleship operation. Although the Eagle does fit into this style of play its niche is not large enough to justify use ahead of another battleship or a shorter range ship of another class.
In short put down your calculator, play the game and then make your conclusions.

a) Do you fly the Eagle Goumindong?
b) Is your calculator substitute for experience?
Eve is about end result.

7.5% damage bonus per level on the Eagle perhaps.
edit: with other changes because it'd still be a poor ship. Drone bay, slight reduction in mass.

The rest of your arguement is based on a lie. The 5 turret eagle really would absolutly trounce these ships. We are talking no reason to fly, ever, over an eagle or some other ship in a different situation.
Normally theres a bit of sense but that it utter rubbish.

Stuff about bob...
That's because they understand the fact that a Zealot/Muninn has no place sniping in a vast fleet because they are not sniping ships. They are versatile heavy assault cruisers that specialise at their races optimal ranges.
Half of your problem stems from your belief that the muninn and zealot are ships designed for combat above 60-70km. They aren't.
