I remember the outcries of this being a Torp nerf when it first came out to which i responded "whaaaaaaaat?" because this was quite obviously a torpedo boost for pvp, not a nerf.
On top of PvP'ing with torpedoes to push out massive amounts of damage, i am also one of those people that PvE's with torpedoes on my golem. Right now i get about a 55-56 Km range on the torps with BS 5, bombardment 5, projection 4, and no implants just using javelin torpedos. For those who say running t2 torps for missions negates the point of making isk. I'd be lucky to blow any more than 800 t2 torps "at most" on missions such as the extravaganzas or worlds collides which usually net me 30+ mil a pop. which is about 600k in missiles.
As a suggestion, instead of gimping the tank for an Afterburner in the mid slots, use 5 t2 medium drones in drone bay, and keep a heavy webbing drone in there, i do. most bs usually dont sit any farther out than 50-52 km so they are in range of me anyways, the webber drone is there to slow them down in case they are making a run.
People who argue that "t2 torps for missions negates the point of making isk" fail to factor in the time you save by doing missions with torps.
A torp golem is able to make back the isk one spends on T2 torps and still make a total higher profit margin over the cruise golem in the same amount of time, considering you can do more missions (thus kill more npcs) in less time due to the dps difference.
Since I learned T2 torps months ago, it's all I ever use now for PVE and PVP and I can't even fly a golem yet.
Decent suppport skills and 3 range rigs on a raven or cnr lets me get whatever range is needed to kill npcs.
I've never had to use an AB either considering one can just aggress NPCs out of torp range and wait for them to move into your striking distance while you shoot at other, closer targets or make your way to the next acceleration gate - all in all, I still do missions faster than a cruise counterpart can ever achieve.
Torps seem fine to me, though I wish all missiles/unguided equivalent would get a boost in explosion velocity in general.
