i dont see why you are supposed to catch someone setup to run when you are in a 'general' all round setup. you never was supposed to, scorps can catch interceptors if setup to do just that, its not that hard. but then if a battleship arives setup for some semi tanking with lots of damage you will most likely catch him also, but what happens? he will probably kill you, or atleast make you run like hell  . is this balance? YES! it is balanced imo, why? because your setup wont work against any ship. , you can equip dual webifiers, 3x(or 4?) close range warp jammersand 3-4 sensor boosters, and camp the warp in point from the other gate. in warps some travel equiped battleshipand you will most likely catch him too.
i dont think that if you are alone you should be able to catch another battleship setup to run away from you. get some friends with you and equip 3 warp disruptors each etc and and it would be tecnically impossible to warp away from you ofc if similar amount of enemies setup with a 'combat' setup they will in return kill you etc.
i can understand that some ppl think warp core stabs are overpowered. and i agree they might need some tuning, most likly in fitting requirements or cap/shield penalties. but not the voices saying to not let them stack at all is just silly ppl beliving that 2 warp scramblers is supposed to mean 100% guarantied sucsses(SP?), it aint, and never was supposed to .Warp core stabs have a deafult penalty by the fact that they cost a lo slot atm, that alone is a 'penalty'.
btw warp disruptors work perfectly when used by several ships, that has been proved.. on me 
also missiles dont toss your ship around anymore, atleast not cruice missiles(i tested this on a tempest, hitting it from the side with 4 siege launchers and he couldent notice a difference). tbh, my best gues is that ppl think the ship is pushed by missiles because it tends to spind aroudn when it gets hit, but in reality the speed and direction stays exactly the same. but combine the fact that it LOOK like your ship is tossed around anyway with the panic factor when having 5 battleships pounding you and you might belive your ship gets tossed around anyway
