Make the apoc and a cruiser (maller or omen) khanid or at least missile based, so basically missile spammers.
Lower fitting reqs/cap use on lasers. Slightly lower laser DPS and give the rest of the amarr ships real bonuses instead of cap usage bonuses.

1. Ship bonuses are meant to overcome natural weaknesses of the weapons (except for gallente where it mostly buffs already good weapons even more but then again high dps is meant to be their racial trait).
Saying laser should get cap reduction built in and a "useful" second bonuses on laser boats instead is like saying to buff projectile weapons rof by 25% and give minmatar ships a "useful" bonus instead of the standard rof one.
So you consider it "fair" and "balanced" that gallente ships do more DPS with 425's with easier fitting and less cap useage then beams (and thus a better tank)?
The problem with your comparison is that there isn't anything wrong with minmatar ships since their weapons are capless. So your comparison holds no ground at all...

2. That change wont do much for Gallente directly, neither good or bad but it would make thermal the primary damage type by far which would lead to thermal being hardened more on all tanks which in turn would reverse the positive effect that change intended for amarr while at the same time nerf gallente indirectly.
Hey, now that I think of it that doesnt sound to bad :P But CCP wont do it to keep some kind of balance between damage types, thermal is already the most common used damage in the game after all (hybrids, gallente drones and lasers to a lesser extend as well).
Thermal and kinetic damage are far more superior to em and explosive.

3. Not going to happen, lasers already eat shields and have great dps, omni armor tanks are a problem but so are omni shield tanks for projectile guns which btw have far less dps and optimal range (read: even less dps again) then lasers
Omni tanks a problem for projectile users? Huh? Just don't use EMP and omni tanks aren't a problem (omnitanks as in insane explosive resist on the shields due to invul fields while the other resistances are lower).
Quote:
4. Resistance distribution with the strengths and weaknesses of shield and armor is well thought out and its highly unlikely to get changed imho, the real problem is that shield tanks are less attractive in pvp then armor tanks because the important pvp modules go in the med slots which leads to more armor omni tanks then shield omni tanks around, but I really dont see a way of changing that without radically changing game mechanics or ship designs.
Wasn't your last point that minmatar had serious issues with omni shield tanks and now you claim that noone uses them? Err?

Actually Amarr are second best drone race - many pilots seem to forget this.
Uh?
(all combined, only tech1)
10 m3 total drone space on Amarr frigates
15 m3 total drone space on Caldari frigates
15 m3 total drone space on minmatar frigates
45 m3 total drone space on gallente frigates
45 m3 total drone space on caldari cruisers
80 m3 total drone space on minmatar cruisers
95 m3 total drone space on amarr cruisers
205m3 total drone space on gallente cruisers
50 m3 total drone space on caldari battlecruisers
70 m3 total drone space on minmatar battlecruisers
75 m3 total drone space on amarr battlecruisers
175m3 total drone space on gallente battlecruisers
200 m3 total drone space on caldari battleships
275 m3 total drone space on amarr battleships
350 m3 total drone space on minmatar battleships
to much to count m3 total drone space on gallente battleships
So the only spot where amarr get a significant second position is with the cruisers...
