Do you think missiles/shield tanking will be good specialisations in Retribution?

Hi guys.
Reading the dev blog https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=155029&find=unread it seems they are making some nice changes to missiles in general.

With the Cyclone and Typhoon becoming missile ships, missiles could be a really fun weapon to specialise in.
When the Typhoon is tweaked, do you think it will be possible to effectively shield tank it?
My main is projectile/minmatar and i'm looking at doing something different for my second account.

What are your current thoughts on the retribution missile changes?
Have most of them already taken place, and if so, do they feel better or worse than before?
What are long range missiles, like heavies like after the patch? I'm a fan of long range and it's the lack of range that discourages me from training hybrids.
What are the Gallente drone boats like at applying their DPS at med/long ranges?

Missile changes are already active. HAMs are a lot better than before, HMs are a lot worse.

The only changes coming up are the tiericide for the missile ships themselves. We eagerly await what they will do with the Drake and Caldari missile Battleships.

i want better cruise torps. increase speed. decrease flight time. still have the same range but not the "oh sh*t! the caldari fleet is attacking us. we have 2 minutes to figure out a plan"

Has anyone tired the new micro jump drive yet? I thought it was pretty awesome testing my battleship jump 98k forward then I thought 'why not combine cruise missles with some sort of micro jump drive?' That'll fix the distance and speed issues that they current haveCool
