Ok, as I alluded to in my last post, I decided to try out ECM against this guy as I have never used it before and was curious as to its effectiveness.
Going up against him again, I fired up my ECM and let it go to work while I pummeled his ship. We appeared to be going toe-to-toe and trading blows, chipping the same amount away, when, BAM, ECM nails him and he delocks. He expresses irritation at this and I get a few rounds of free fire, beginning to take chunks out of his armor.
There was one fatal flaw in my setup.....the two nos'es I equipped weren't enough to keep up with cap loss and my armor repper gave in before his did. He started tearing chunks out of my armor while I watched his armor begin to repair more than I could hit it for.

The Lessons:
Ok, so ECM isn't a win button. I figured it wouldn't be but I was curious as to how effective it was. First lesson, don't give up DPS and survivability for the small chance that you may get a few rounds.
Cap boosters are king. I have seen multiple times now where a cap booster has made it so that the person with the most boosters wins the fight. I need to begin using these as they appear to be invaluable in an active tank.
Other than those, I flew well. I was just using lesser modules with lesser skills and it was pretty clear cut.
