So I bought a Rattlesnake today and I am currently training the skills for it (90 days left). This was at the suggestion of a corp mate who said that it would be the best choice due to its' tank and DPS.

But I'm a bit confused. Here are my questions:
1) Would it be a good choice for fighting Angel rats? If so, how much ISK/hour should I be making with T2 modules and good missile skills?
2) What drones should I use?
3) Any good advice on how to fly the ship in a site?

1. Maybe. You won't apply full damage with Scourge missiles, but you can offset that to some extent with drones that deliver explosive damage. I believe pre-Citadel it was somewhere around 100m ISK/hour.
2. Bouncer IIs, Geckos and Berserkers (not necessarily in that order).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

1). If the rattlesnake still has bonuses on kinetic missile damage, then yes, since Angel Cartel is weak against exp/kin, they are good. ISK/hour depends on the spawn and the rating of the system you are ratting in.
2). Heavy or sentry drones. Rattlesnakes get a 275% bonus to damage.
3). Kite. MJD out and drop sentries and blast the frigs that come your way first, then switch to large ships.
