Funny how passive shield idea is dismissed because of armor tank bonus, when it's about just as silly as fitting projectiles. 
People fit projectiles on lot of stuff but most I see them do is die. 
750 dps would be almost decent if your 2 low slots weren't dedicated to gyrostabs. That's as much as a normal abaddon does with 7 slot tank, with the slight difference of 15km optimal, not to talk about barrage/scorch comparisons.
If you are so concerned about cap warfare might aswell use a plated phoon. Or fit 2nd cap booster on pulse abaddon, without rep it should fit. Also since abaddon is best used as the ship that attracts opposing dps from it's gang's geddons and megas, even if you do run dry there is nothing to be overly concerned about, since 1) you'll probably die somewhere in the middle of the fight 2) you're not the best damage dealer of your gang 3) your tank is rather cap-independant anyway. Neutralizers are not a great concern in gang vs gang situations, and it's not like you can solo much with 60% webs in a BS anyway even with ACs. Also judging from your pulse abaddon fit with 2 eccms and no web it seems to me it's a gang fit in any case.
Idea of fitting cap-free guns might seem justified, it probably even is in some particular cases, but generally I wouldn't touch that with a 20 foot pole.
Oh, about the RR, I wouldn't. It has 8 turret slots with a reason. Removing a gun while still wasting slots in lows for heatsinks is a losing race. Abaddon is great as aggro magnet, if you manage to force the other guys to shoot it first you'll come very close to winning the fight, even if they switch primary target they lost a lot of time in which they hopefully lost some of their own number. Or as FC's ship, and that's mostly because of simplicity of it's role in a fight. You don't need to concern yourself who to rep, just whom to shoot and basically just need to think out loud when calling primaries. Also if you're the FC you'll try not to be aggro magnet, something which abaddon is actually great at since no one likes primarying it for obvious reasons - meaning you'll stay alive somewhere until the very end.
