I skilled into this for AV, which it is quite good for.Though, I have been using it as a regular assault suit and my impressions are that it sucks 
No matter how much I tank, the suit seems to die faster than my tanked Gallante Scout.
I've tried shield tanking, again standard Gallante scout does it better.
Armor tanking, not that good when you have only two lows.
EWarfare, scouts and logis do it better.
I have tried to learn from how other people run their Minmatar Assault's on the field, but their seem to be few that last more than two seconds before I blinked and they are gone.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Or is this suit destined to only ever be a decent AV suit?

I have two corp mates that make outstanding use of Minmatar assault suits and I expect they will be demonstrating Combat Rifle Beast Mode in a few weeks. Both of them essentially use constant motion and flanking to get the most out of the suits speed. They also make good use of shield regulators and energizes. Squishy, yes...but they recoup HP like Wolvwrine on crack.
My personal thought is that the Minmatar assault is the best scout suit in the game. Try playing it that way and see what you think.
Alright, I see what you are getting at. Damn, now I need to skill into regulators and energizers T.T

The only thing I don't like about the suit is that it's very CPU starved and you're going to be using an enhancer 90% of the time. Armor > shield imbalance doesn't really help its case either. But still, 5 high slots and a bonus that adds clip size to sidearms is more than worth it. This is what I've been using on an alt:
Assault MK.0
3 Complex Extender
Enhanced Recharger (Energizer if you have the CPU)
Complex Sidearm Damage Mod
Basic Reactive Plate (or Complex Dampener)
CPU Enhancer
Ishukone SMG
TT-3 Assault Scrambler Pistol
M-1 Locus Grenade
Compact Nanohive
CPU is always going to be a bit sparse no matter your fitting so it's good to get weapon operation skills maxed before you max circuitry since they're cheaper. Both the Ishukone and TT-3 are excellent, easy to fit, fun to use weapons that make damn good primaries. I usually try to flank with a squad and get the drop on people with the TT-3 and mop them up with the Ishukone. You could swap out the pistol for a core flaylock if you're short on PG and get about the same results with the added benefit of the extra rocket in the clip, just make sure you aim around the knee area for direct hits. Another option would be to do dual SMGs and unload 200 rounds of pain before having to reload. I'd probably switch out an extender for another damage mod for that if you don't have SMG proficiency 3. The basic reactive is nice to have for that extra bit of buffer for ScR rifles and lasers, but if people are running scanners, you could swap it for a complex dampener and give at least basic scanners the slip.
I use a GEK-38 and Ishukone Assault SMG. It's OK, though, it only works on one target.

Damn, I just can't make this suit work for me...
Screw it, I am just going to stick with the Minmatar Scout.

AV
The suit is extremely good against vehicles but is absolutely horrid against infantry. I also have complex damage mods just for this reason.

;_;
This is what happens when you try to skill into everything. Nothing gets done.
Anyways, I think I am going to just skill into the Gallante Basic Medium Frame. Only 400,000 SP to go.
