Every class of suit can now achieve over 1000hp besides a scout
That's funny, because my Matari Scout can't reach 1000 eHP.The only way for my Matari Assault to reach 1000 eHP is if you brick tank it (like a scrub). Which not only ruins the suit's strengths, it means you can't run any decent weapon whatsoever because of the non-existent amount of PG. Hope you like STD Flaylock Pistols.  The Commando can also reach 1000 eHP, but that also requires you to "ruin" the suit and you can only fit one weapon (unless of course, you like STD Flaylock Pistols), which defeats the purpose of using a Commando in the first place. Also, the ability to reach 1000 eHP is not justification for why the Sentinels need a buff.
The Gal Logi can (with max skills on all fronts) reach just over 1000 eHP... but to do that you have to ditch all but one equipment slot, run ADV nades and use LP gear in some slots (such as the LW).
In that configuration the GalLogi is nearly as slow as my Amarr Sent (including the speed reduction my Amarr takes from stacking Complex Plates), costs more (in both ISK and SP) and still cannot wield an HMG.
Taking any single suit aspect, including but not limited too slot layout, and using it to define balance/imbalance is quite simply an inaccurate oversimplification.
Some of the top heavies I know were, as recently as last night in one case, commenting on how amazed they were that heavy CPU/PG hadn't been nerfred yet because they're one of the only frames in the game who can fill every slot pure proto in most configurations they'd like. Now I'm not advocating that change per se, in many ways (esp after the changes proposed by CCP R) I doubt the Heavy needs toned down so much as other roles need love to deepen their role effectiveness. But speaking as someone who rolls proto heavy, and as support logi rolls around behind them quite a bit, I see no need to buff the heavy role at this time.

ps ~ if there is a specific reason to buff the heavy which anyone would care to explain I'm more than willing to listen, but nothing in my current experience shows why that would be needed at this time.
