Blasteranis are only good for Killing other ceptors - but its VERY good at it if flown well.
I use mine for general tackling. Get fast lock and stuff, then bail once more people get a point on. Generally ill sit about 200km away and wait for a target to loose focus on me then warp in and melt some DPS. But if you dont like structure damage, don't bother with it.
I've also had good results with the 125mm ranis, very nice rail platform.

Blasters put you inside web & neut range, both other which usually = podding. So you would have to be choosy about targets.
A safer option is 3 x 125mmT2 and orbit at 16km. It will take time to pop target so you need to micro manage MWD usage as 3 rails & MWD will eat your cap.
A rail taranis is made of one of the most pure sources of fail in the game.
And a killboard search revails exactly how fail your opinion ois given your terrible PVP record and lack of flying like a taranis... ever.
Rail-Ranis is very hard to fly, but works well. Blasteranis is a bit more straightforward if you can overheat. Don't believe everything you read on the forums about how a ship should be fitted, 9/10 experience is better. I fly my huginn completely differently that the forums tell me too, but it's still effective for my play style.

Well, my own search (since you suggested it) gave this:
Spectre3353
I think he's a pretty experienced pilot and his Taranis has taken down cruisers solo.
So stop flaming people and show us your own stats before criticizing people.
I almost stood corrected tehre, realising he might be an alt. Then i realised the solo cruiser kill was an osprey with a mix of small and light guns, and a civilian shield booster. Other than that it's all T1 frig ganks in losec. please.
I ahvent used a KB in ages (check other people for my stats if they post losses/kills) - but here's the last time i flew a rail ranis in a non-suicidal fight, You may also notice the punisher i flew, and that i'm possibly a decent frig pilot.
3on1
Zomg, i can solo a cruiser!!!11!!one!!
God knows what happened to the caracal's KM. Looks messed up.

The Rail taranis is exceptionally easy to fly in comparison to other setups. MWD,point+ web blablabla, by that time you're struggling to stay within 2km in your blaster setup. While a rail taranis is well into the targets armor. The only ceptor that is easier to pilot is the crow.
Cept your are slow and chew through cap. And the ranis has a weaker PG than the other 2 turret ceptors, meaning fitting long range guns gimps it more.

1: We are talking antimatter ammo usage within webrange, the rail taranis is designed to be able to take out any other ceptortype with little or no difficulty. I've yet to loose a duel in that ship with a rail fitting.
2: I'll have the same cap/speed as any blaster taranis so whats the difference. Secondly, 125mm II's take up 0.9 more powergrid per gun compared to ions(AWU V).
3: The point of fitting 125mm II's is to gain enough range to be able to do 150ish DPS anywhere within webbing range, not just 2km. The result of that is that you end up finishing pretty much every inty fight you get conciderably faster, even if you loose 40 dps from swapping those ions to 125mm II's.
With that said the blasterranis is alot of fun to fly and a bit more challenging, which makes it more thrilling. But saying rails are pointless let alone worse is a testament to a lack of experience with the taranis.
read up, i advocated the use of rails on a ranis ;)
