Opened the blog full of hope, got greatly dissapointed...
I never ever had issues with damage as amarr. I'm always or almost always on top of killmails. Was hoping to see something about tracking disruptors and the way scripts ruined them, something about 80% of amarr t1 and 50% of t2 ships being utterly useless (as individual ships, not because of bloody EM dmg they do), about amarr recons... nothing. I don't think this will accomplish anything really. Amarr will suffer same as everyone else with resist reduction, just the same as they suffered after the fabled eanm nerf after which they became that one race that cant fit eanm any more, unlike the others who actually have cpu, thus becoming victims of their own "buff".
EM drones dont have the problem of doing EM damage, but the problem of doing so little of it. They are useless because of their unimaginably pathetic damage multiplier.
EM not being ideal against armor tanks? Bu-hu, big deal. Explosive isn't ideal against shield omnitank, kinetic either. Isn't that the point of having different damage types? To have diversity? Bu-hu the ohter guy has eanm and dc well guess what I've got plates and heatsinks and he still dies and i'm still top damage dealer. Also as you said Amarr sit there and hope god is on their side: they are if I understood correctly the "if brute force doesnt solve your problem, youre not using enough of it" race. His EM resist is high? Do more EM. So, how about leaving that as it is?
Please redirect the issue from EM damge to individual ships. Curse, pilgrim, sentinel, zealot, prophecy, omen, apocalypse, maller, arbitrator, work on them, they all suck not because of EM damage but becauses they simply suck as such. 
Also, shouldnt the core of the problem be in the fact, that was mentioned in blog, that armor tank is so much more popular than shield in the first place? Maybe do something in that direction? Minmatar and Caldari as shield tanking races and Amarr and Gallente as armor should be the case and everything would be fine, unfortunately Minmatars are most of the time armor tankers just the same, despite the starting skillset their military characters get.
