EVE comparisons cannot be made to DUST for every single aspect. It really doesn't work with cloaks because they are two entirely different games. Ships do decloak when they are within 2,500 meters of anything. However, when cloaked, you might as well be completely invincible. They can't lock you which means they can't hurt you. FoF missiles hit whatever is closest and I don't even think they work against cloak (even if they did, who the hell uses FoF missiles?) and Smartbombs have a range of about 9 kilometers at their highest. Providing you are beyond 12 kilometers of anything, you can shout in local about their mother and father being related, question their sexuality, sing Never Give You Up, or just give information to your corp mates about when to jump in.

1. Cloaking ends when your shields end, this means if you loose your shielding for whatever reason, your cloak status is gone, you also may not cloak when your shields are down. Why, because as I figure it the cloaking is latching onto the shielding, going around you to mask your movements, it is not a mesh within your armor, even if it was a mesh a bullet through your armor and now you are visible, aka armor fragments coming off or blood coming out, either way logically the cloak fails.
This is going with the assumption that it is 'tacked onto shields' when there is little or no basis on this. Beyond that, from a game aspect, it is heavily unfair to the low shield suits. An Amarr Scout with max Shield Upgrades and no modules has 75 Shields; falling damage would break the cloak. The Caldari would have no such problem. This is a change that is unfair to one racial suit while doing little to others.

2. If you are hit with an emp gernade that destroys all placed electronics on the ground, you can not use your equipment in general until your shields have fully recharged, this means no scanners no cloaks. This is going back to point 1 of what is wanted.
Don't know how I feel about this. Is certainly an interesting thought on how to deal with Sentinel-Logistics combinations. However, it favors faster Shield Regeneration; Caldari and Minmatar are happy while Gallente and Amarr suffer. Maybe that would be another balance point. Interesting to be sure.

3. To be able to use a gun at all or gernade, you must have fully decloaked, this does not mean as soon as you shoot someone with your gun, this means a fully decloak that either you did on purpose or because your energy ran out. Equipment is fine to use at any time including remote explosives.
100% agreed. That 1.5 second delay would mean that choosing between decloaking right behind the enemy for a shotgun hit or having distance was an actual choice. Also means that getting caught IN cloak would be a bigger detriment to your offensive capability. I like it.

4. Scouts are limited to side arm weapons only, shotguns are now a side arm weapon. Why, because assault suits are currently useless and have no value within the game anymore. Scouts typically have more armor/shields now then assault suits, this is especially presented when a scout suit uses a combat rifle (with an auto fire controller) and is literally doing more damage then the AR was before it was nerfed. 30dmg a bullet at rof 1,200.
Nerfing X because Y is lacking is kind of lame. I don't like the idea of the Shotgun being made a Sidearm but maybe the Scouts would have a Shotgun slot and a Sidearm slot? Shotgun or Sidearm could go into Shotgun slot but only a Sidearm in the Sidearm slot. Don't know how I feel on this one as stated with the whole X and Y thing. Means the Cloakless and Logi Scout are dead.

5. The rendering upon the cloak needs to be done better by CCP. Watch the entire video that I linked to before saying "oh they are so easy to see"
Yes.
