As far as I know, combat recons get no cloaking bonuses at all, so it's like every other ship.
They have a "hidden" bonus, nothing major though.
A combat recon can recloak after 5 seconds. Normally you have a reactivation delay of 30 seconds with prototype and improved cloaks.

Also, the targeting delay refers to actually resolving the lock, not initiating it. You can start targeting immediately after decloaking. The delay will simply prevent you from getting a lock until after the five seconds is up. Don't wait five seconds to start targeting - just go for it immediately.
Wrong. Its for starting the lock.
The decloaking is usually a bit lagged so it can appear that you start to lock right after the decloak, but that isn't the case. Hit the (de)clock button at .00 and spam ctrl-leftclick on a target. You will start locking the target at .06 (with cloaking 4).

Again cruisers and BCs the rapier will do muc much better. MWD, scram, 2 webs and 2 damp + 2 damp rigs will let you damp any BC or smaller (exept recons) below 20k and webs will allow you to control the battle totally. Without damagemods you'll do around 200 dps with it if you use artillery.
As a sidenote, don't expect too much from the cloak. Nowadays most people with half a brain will retreat to a safe the moment you enter the system, not when they see you on the overview.

I'm expecting tons from the cloak. Even with my evil sec status I still catch people in the belts. I do low-sec pirating, not 0.0.
Ok, lowsec is something different. But hunting people in lowsec belts is so...meh. Yay, another t1 fitted frigate/cruiser/mining barge. Its neither profitable nor any challange IMO. Its like bullying people half your age in school.

Missionrunners is another thing entirely.
And, yes, some people do lowsec beltratting in BSs. However this is a certain breed of stupid (or very green) people which usually do not have anything worthwhile.
