I'm not a huge fan of the Amarr and Gallente Sentinel slot changes.
Why? Not much sense using a shield extender on the Amarr anymore. No sense whatsoever. Edit: Hey, it would make a TON of sense to switch the Hybrid Rail resistance to Armor now instead of Shields.
Oh, and I can't even use a sidearm damage mod if I want to with my light mod.
 Have you even ran the numbers to see how these changes will affect sentinel vs sentinel? Looks to me like Gallente is getting the advantage over Amarr now with an extra slot for a heavy damage mod or even a shield extender. Somehow I doubt even with the Amarr's 15% innate resistance to projectile weapons that an extra armor plate will help much against what is effectively a 4% DPS buff to Gallente and -4% nerf to Amarr's DPS.
I can already see the FOTM coming CCP... it's a good thing I was planning on skilling into the Caldari sentinel next so my shield extender skill doesn't go to a complete waste.
Signature? What signature! I have no idea what you're talking about my good sir.

I'm bumping my own post because no one replied to it.

It's an abomination, it is.
Remote explosive resistance. Damage resistance for certain fittings.
Actually, Arkena Wyrmspire convinced me to try it out.

Please consider not doing this.
Heavy slot layouts have never been anywhere near comparable to medium and light frames. What would happen if you swapped a Caldari high slot with a low slot? INSANELY fast shield repair that would probably make them OP.
I'm sick of this Eve-lore idealism, everything must be identical bull crap.
You remember when you said "we don't want scouts throwing frisbees at heavies and instakilling them?" This will probably allow basic remotes to OHKO the Amarr again.
I was just starting to like having the freedom to use a shield extender. Now I can't? Come on. Also, this will make Gallente heavies faster which is also something you didn't want before.
