1) with a low TTK, fitting options matter less. Speed tanking has become all but unviable, and gaining maximum HP is the only way to remain competitive in the current environment.
This is because when most people try to do something other than HP Tank, they get bad results due to dying so quickly ( <0.5 seconds in some cases) to most of the weapons in play on the battlefield. They don't have enough time to let their other choice of tanking to take effect in a combat scenario.
2) Alpha-damage weapons like Plasma Cannons, Shotguns, Nova Knives and to a lesser extent Scrambler Rifles are edged out of their niche zones by weapons that are capable of sustained fire and high DPS...
There isn't enough of a difference between the TTK of a Shotgun and a Combat Rifle (or any rifle really), for example. In a competitive scenario, you would choose the rifle EVERY time, because it can do everything the Shotgun does better than the shotgun, and then some.
3) It doesn't feel good to die so quickly in a game where every death costs you more than just your K/DR. It makes your fittings seem pointless, and all the time and effort you put into them seems like a waste.

So basically its guys that arent as good as they thought getting killed and crying about it because their power fantasy is ruined since matches are played in real time and not with spread sheets really ? so you calling all EVE players **** at FPS and the diversity of suits, fittings and skills isn't broke ? Really? Really? * I would try to explain the point, I was driving at in my post but.... I can't be arsed It's true, once you play EVE it negates any FPS experience you had prior to doing so. 
Yup. I tried a test trial a few months ago, and now I'm the worst player in the game. I'm still baffled as to why Dust isn't turn based, and my carefully planned dropsuits (which I used spreadsheets for obviously) aren't winning every battle, every time.
