The Geddon falls perfectly into what you're getting at with the warp speed rigs. It is niche like that though. Your standard DPS dealing battleship will have a harder time being useful but Geddons, Scorps, Vindys, Bhaals, and perhaps Sniper Rokhs can work me thinks.

I don't dig the fit though. Lacks tank for something that is likely primary. As you've said this would be going along with a fleet of cruisers. Let them deal with damage, focus on your role instead.

[Armageddon, Cruiser Roam]

6x Heavy Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Large Plasma Smartbomb II

2x Heavy Capacitor Booster II (Navy Cap Booster 800)
100MN Afterburner II
Compact Ship Scanner

3x 1600mm Reinforced Steel Plates II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Internal Force Field Array I

2x Large Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II
Large Ancillary Current Router I

25x Navy Cap Booster 800

There are all our dominion

Agree with your sentiments about some battleships being better for this than others. Straight-up gun boats would have a hard time doing it and staying relevant, missile boats I think would have a little easier time doing it due to their higher CPU, and the Domi and Scorpion would also be good choices due to their non-reliance on battleship-class high slots. (I'd actually prefer a Naga for anything I'd try with a Rokh in a sniper role, but I see where you're going with that. But a Blaster Rokh? That may work.)

Fitting a fast-warp battleship to be a massive damage sink on a cruiser roam seems like a really good idea, and one I hadn't rightly considered. My one concern with your fit would be whether a triple-plated 'Geddon would align quickly enough to take advantage of the "Afterburner into warp" trick. If it can't, a MWD seems like a better option. Replace one or two of your highs with remote armor reps and pack a second 'Geddon like this, and you'd have one hell of a wall to chew through.
