What are you talking about?
Caldari Sentinels are easy mode as long as you don't try and use it like an armor one. You can rep your health back just as fast ALONE without the need for a logi. That and you are being dealt 15-30% less damage from enemy HMGs for the majority of your HP. It takes 1 second for you to start recharging and you can solo heavies as long as you don't run into a large group of them.
Yes the Amarr are built for endurance, but as long as you can use cover and don't try and just outlast the armor sentinels you won't die easily. That and if you skill up to 4 or 5 you have enough resistance to make scrambler rifles feel like CRs against those shields.

The minmatar is unique...it can run at 7.44 m/s (7.7ish if you use the heavy frame rather than the sentinel), and has an insane stamina regen.
Sure there's no way to fit it for HP tanking as every other sentinel can do that better, but you can jump around like crazy. In combination with the burst HMG it's the perfect hit and run sentinel...if it didn't have such **** regeneration.

Aside from all of this, here's the problem with your idea for the 1hp/s shield recharge for all repair tools...
If you did that, the heavy would not only be getting reps to their armor, but also have the passive shield regen active constantly. A core focused on a caldari sentinel with 80 shield recharge would make that Caldari rep at 230/s total.
That's just silly and would make the Cal sentinel the only heavy worth repping for competitive. Imagine going against this caldari heavy and getting them down to half armor, only for you to have to reload and have the heavy back up at full armor and 1/3 shield.
Imagine having to keep taking out 80 shields before you could damage the armor, and it would just keep bumping up every second after it was depleted. That small amount of time you have to spend taking out shields is another half a second of reps the armor is getting.
I like the idea of a shield repping tool, but you can't just throw that 1hp/s on all repair tools and call it good.
