Nope. While I love this patch for shotgunning, due to MUCH better framereate allowing me to actually hit shots and not blue shield flash people all day long, the delay is working as intended.

Iv died several times today because I couldn't get a shot off fast enough from cloak where I used to be able to.

Combined with the range nerf, this is the average scenario where I would die to the new delay:

1. Im running around, trying to find someone to kill/something to hack, or running away from something. Im cloaked.
2. No scan range means that I can't ping the Gal Assault that just came around a corner in front of me. We see each other at the same time
3. The Breach AR begins to pop my shields, and I decloak.
4. I think WOAH need to do something quick.
5. The .33 seconds where I can't shoot allows him to get a shot off, as well as backpedal 2m, making him a 3-shot target, where before I would have had him at 200 armor at this point, and lining up the kill shot.
6. If he misses a few shots, I can still kill him. However, he is at an advantage here, and generally can kill me.

Not really as intended apparently. Have you even been the victim of the cloak shotty recently? I have even seen players squeeze off a shot from their shotgun while their cloak is still on for some reason (might be lag).

Probably just lag, and only occasionally, but most times I kill them before they get a killing shot off, unless they manage to sneak up on me, which is props to them, considering after running Scout for the first couple matches I ran Assault.

I don't notice any delay (0.33 sec is a very short time) Its .13 seconds faster than the AVG human RXN time. Ive personally noticed it, and tend to cloak up much less, and only do so if there is no cover at all. "Minja" and "Masochist" are synonyms.
