This is actually a very good idea. Give them a good tank and the ability not to target other things, no highs, just a med slot for a mwd, and 5-6 lows. Would be like a transport ship only for not carrying huge loads

If they have an Autopilot-Warp-To-0 capability, warp bubble immunity and doubled hyperspatial velocity I'll start with invention...

Just getting my opinion in here early in case this thread actually goes somewhere:
There is no logical niche for T2 shuttles to fit into. The executioner/condor/slasher/atron group can already be fit to carry over 100 m3 of stuff at speeds in excess of 3km/s (without rigs.) Interceptors can do this too, and go even faster and have better resistances. It would be redundant to have a shuttle with similar attributes. The only logical distinguishing attributes it could have from an interceptor would be even faster speed... like in the 10 km/s range, which is just faster than a rigged, speed-fit interceptor, but would be completely impossible to target or hit. By the time anything locked it it would already be outside of warp bubble range and out of the system. If it got sucked into a bubble on arrival at a gate it would take a mere second to reach the gate. Basically it's too close to granting invincibility for my taste.
edit since I saw a T2 pod comment: I think that there should be an "upgrade pod" switch in the fitting or ships tab in stations. You could select a single attribute to grant to the pod, like better HP, a small cargo space, or improved speed. Or, in lieu of that, introduce "pod rigs" and have a single rig slot on pods. Just open up fitting while your pod is selected and slap it on. The other thing they need to do immediately, for all pods, is to decrease their signature radius to the point that a player is effectively invincible from targeting for a few seconds. Just enough time to actually react to the initial lag of entering the pod, especially if it's amidst a group of enemies. Killing a player's pod should be more than just an inevitable formality.

Only until after the patch when it actually becomes a very fine tackler.

Shuttles aren't supposed to be a transport ship, and loslots for stabs would not stop the smartbombing BS (even if losec MS become a thing of the past.)

T2 Shuttles would have to be AT LEAST as survivable in 0.0 as T1 shuttles are, or they will not be used.
No one will by an ultra expensive shuttle for 0.5+ afk flying, and no one will pay extra for a less secure 0.0 unarmed ride.
So, T2 shuttles would need the same agility as the T1 shuttles. They dont need better, but it CANNOT be worse.
Once the agility issue is settled, then there are a ton of options. I'd just give them some minor resistance bonuses, double cargo and double speed.
But on a more serious note, I dont want CCP wasting time on T2 shuttles. If they do waste such time, I wont lose any sleep over it, but it will still be wasted time.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

I already use an Ares for this. 
It's even named "Gallente Shuttle II". (4) Nanofiber IIs for 3.2s align time. MWD II for ****s & giggles.
3.2s align + 13.5 au/s warp = pretty nice shuttle if you've got the skillz
It'll actually be a sweet tackler come Rev III. But for now? It's a T2 shuttle.

I used my Flycatcher as my shuttle - it was brilliant for grabiing small things from Jita to move around.

Shuttles are alredy too good as it is, to catch one you need a bubble or a sensor boosted inty -.-.
