Make warp-jammers delay warping for a period of time rather than stopping it altogether.
For example: 1 warp-jammer will prevent a ship warping for 10 seconds base (improved by 5%/10% per Propulsion Jamming level). Add a stacking effect such as the one hardeners/dmg mods receive for each one added thereafter.
Warp-core stabilizers can then be used to improve warp-drive activation strength, thereby reducing the length of time you're "stuck".
Give them (the modules) a range dependant upon size (with appropriate fitting rquirements) - frigs get 10km range, cruisers 20km, battleships 45km.
This means you could escape someone who only has 1 warp-jammer but only after 10 seconds of sweating it out but if someone has you warp-jammed 4 times you'd pretty much take a beating and, if 4 battleships are hitting you, you're pretty much dead. Under the current system you'd still be dead unless you're one of the rare few who use 4 warp-core stabs.

Hum. But then you'd need a scorpion full of warpjammers just to take out a single battleship, and that scorpion will die before its target does.
More like 60 seconds / warp jammer.
Aye, the length of time it was active was always going to be the hard part of my idea to balance.

The way I look at it, CCP won't give us a long-range/certain warp-jam solution, and the delay-warp-jam + range feature seems a good compromise.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea

archangel,
In your Raven I don't plan on letting you anywhere near 20km 
Raven is possibly the only ship I won't go 1 vs 1 against
