The way in which you count scoop drone healing as a nerf kind of spoils the attempt at logic. Scoop drone healing was an oversight and has needed attention for a while now, it also affects every ship with a drone bay. The Eos having some of its gun slots removed is also not a nerf, more of a balance, however I would agree that soemthing else needs to be done in order to bring its survivability in fleets up to the same level as other ships in its class.
As for the iskur, give me an argument as to why an assualt ship should need to deploy more than 5 light drones, that in my book is a sensible amount for an assault ship and it still has room for spares. The same applies to the Myrmidon, Medium drones are acceptable especially with the bonus, or is it right that it should field 5 heavies and be on a par with the dominix for drone damage? The eos is on the same level, although the bonus to drone bay size is stupid, so give it a bonus to resists or armour hp instead.
RSD Efficiency, thats a tough one, however I also feel that it was required, but i shall let you keep them as negative points.

Caldari:
+ ship agility to most ships
Raven:
+ Torp damage
- Range
Lets start with the bonus to agility as being something that is required, there is no reason for caldari ships to be the massive bricks they currently are, they shouldnt be the most agile/fast, but they should come in line with others.
I will give you the + for torp damage, its nice to have somethign that packs a punch at close range to large targets, but I would also like to stick in a negative for the reduced range, mainly because I feel that the change is more of a balance again.
As for the others, well clutching at straws to be honest. Jammers have had issues from day 1, nobody will ever agree on what should be done about it, but especially with the scorp and blackbird, the bonus change was needed as they because pretty useless, its a trade off, however the system we have at the moment works fine from my point of view and the efficiency and cap use in my opinion is on your little list to make up points.
The gang link issue is also a slim argument, a single gang link to benefit a passive tank that uses less cap? Surely you can see that there is little to no point in arguing that point?
I dont fly amarr or minny, so I wont comment, however I do feel that the changes coming to both gallente and caldari are being blown out of proportion, its not the end or the golden age of either race.
A final point, if ccp simply went on whats posted on these forums and used that information to make changes then this game would be a complete cluster.
