Still wondering, what CCPs idea with this module then is 
So maybe "just" support for Battleship Fleet fights? If you have a Sniper-BS engagement with high numbers of pilots, where both parties are far away enough from each other - so that a handful MSs could rotate their ECM burst into the hostile fleet, without affecting their own BSs - that might give you a small advantage.
But taken into account that even with high numbers a BS fleet flight doesn't last very long and also quickly becomes quite laggy - especially at gates when one of the two fleets jumps in - each MS you bring might only be able to fire it once or twice.
And in the end it's also the question is how often you really have this situation/opportunity plus the circumstance, that you can position your MSs at the frontline as BS support, without bringing them into a situation where it's likely that the hostiles have their cap fleet already in position, just waiting to hotdrop you.

The desciption even speaks of 5-10 minutes depending on skills until you can fire the next one. So I think the skills don't apply on the 20 seconds(?)
The description on the module is incorrect, the one on the skill is correct.

ECM Burst is bugged. It doesnt affect the ship you fire it on.
With the web range nerf on Officer Webs, HIC borderlining being impossible to kill.
First, it's not bugged, the ECM burst originates from the ship you activate it on, and goes for 20km around that ship. When you activate a normal ECM burst it doesn't cause your ship to lose lock, this works the same way.
Secondly, HICs are easy as hell to kill, if you're in a mothership and you're having trouble killing a HIC, you're doing it wrong.
Motherships work best as defensive tool, the ECM bomb should be used in conjunction with other defensive elements, as it can disrupt battleship fire and RR, and to some extent carrier RR. Used while defending a cynojammer and/or other posses motherships are one of the most powerful options available, especially when the ability to doomsday under jammers is removed.

I'm just curious I'm not arguing its a valid strategy or anything but say you are in low sec (no bubbles) your MS gets jumped due to you being an idiot or whatever.
Could you not: align full speed to a friendly pos or safe spot or whatever, activate remote ecm (thus breaking hics "superpoint" and instawarp to friendly pos. I assume this is precisely why people bump supercaps, but if you react fast enough (or the tacklers only just arrived so bumps not in position you are already aligned or whatever) would it work?

Would theoretically be possible but due to bumping - no.

It's fairly difficult to bump a mothership at speed that significantly. |

Yes but it's also very difficult for the mom to get up to speed with loads of drones and other crap around him  |

Why wouldn't the mom be up to speed before they arrived/as soon as they did. I mean, unless you're an idiot and jump directly into a dread fleet, in which case you'd deserve to lose your mothership for the simple fact that you're completely inept. |
