What should the Sin be proficient in when roaming in enemy territory?
i for one like the idea of a gank and tank but at 500mil the ship might not be survivable enough to risk.
what exactly is wrong with it besides the low jump range and fuel efficiency?

Locking speed, hitpoints? pricetag of 500mil vs the 50 (insureable!) of the domi?
not to mention, you still need a cyno in the destination-system... |

If you have the balls and deep pockets for it, I have seen some speed tanked Sin's that turn on a dime - turns/warps faster than a Ishtar, as well as heavy nos/neut and breathing room for other equipment (Webs/points).
You can either orbit at long range and let your drones do all the dirty work, or orbit at 20-25km with points and nos/neut.
Only problems though is that it costs quite a penny (probably a snake set, officer/deadspace mods) to get it to the proper speeds for that, being 5-6km/s. Due to the agility bonuses - yes, it nearly turns on a dime, but it slows down from being webbed just as fast.
You can with ease fit a web on there and murder any nano's who dare to intercept you however - but its a very expensive ship to lose if you get bombed by the unexpected.
Cynosural field is obviously useless unless u have a alt or cyno support.
Due to the speed tank, and the cloaking bonuses, and ability to turn very well, it's also very capable at evading and slipping through camps - though I wouldn't try to do that regularly in a ship like this.
You can't really speed tank a Domi like this in a million years, and even if it you did it would be so slow - but you can just tank it out instead and its a lot cheaper. The speed-tanked Sin would outperform the Domi in situations the Domi would lack in I think though (fighting other nanos, roaming). ____________________
