1.use Assult launchers, because:
[a]you 'should' be out of range to use your heavies anyway
[b]you'll find the only things you do shoot at are the tacklers that scream out towards you, which your heavies won't hit.
2.don't use a cloak, because:
[a]it messes up your lock time, in what frequently becomes a 'who jams the opposing ECM boat first' contest.
[b]you don't get any speed bonus cloaked, so you're going 75% slower than any already low top speed. that ISN'T going get you into optimal range anywhere near quick enough to be useful (58m/s lol).
[c]if you're gonna fit a cloak... fly a falcon?
3.don't use the sensor booster because:
[a]the cloak locking delay is 12 seconds before you can even start locking... you'll never get near to making up that lost time, even with the scan res script. better off just without the cloak
[b]you need that mid slot for MWD/LSE, empire wars will be gates and stations, and being the last guy back to the gate due to no MWD will leave you dead (and sad).
[c]you're already going to lock faster than a falcon as you're not cloaking (right?), so you're winning the 'who jams the opponents ECM first competition'. it isn't important to jam super fast vs the damage dealers, as long as they're jammed in a reasonable amount of time then all is good. jamming a second faster on dps ships isn't worth the loss of a mid slot
4. Fit an MWD because:
[a]see '3.b'.
I like the rig choices though (2 x ECM range rigs is a waste, you're very unlikely to come across sniper fleets in an empire war, so absolute max ECM range isn't needed). Your choice of ECM mods is personal preference tbh, i prefer all racials, other prefer multi's... just try a few variations and decide what you prefer. Oh and thumbs up for choosing the rook over the falcon, i always enjoyed flying it more, as you get involved in the fight more, get to shoot stuff, and it's cheaper... plus it takes more balls. :D
if it's of any interest, i use the following setup for ages in 0.0 and low sec, and had great fun with it (only ever lost 1 of them, well i lost another due to doing something stupid, but that's a different story  )

I'd frequently take the shield extender off for another jammer, and swap for different mixes of jammers depending on intel... i think it's important for all ECM boats to be flexible rather than keep the same mods every fight. e.g if you know they use a lot of caldari, fit more caldari jammers, duh' :D
good luck o/
