  Don't use passive in a wormhole. If you're shield tanking with a group you should all have at the very least 1 shield transporter, preferably 2.
  
  You don't need a warp stab.
  
  I dunno, you need to work on this fit a lot more, you would be better off using a drake for most wormholes.

   Multi purpose ship = Fail ship. You have a incredibly weak tank for a BS, and your doing less damage then a well equipped drake would do. The saying is unless your fitting specifically for cost and disposability, dont fly a BS without being able to T2 fit it.
  
   Bottom line is a drake can out tank and out dps your raven easily. It would have an easier time killing rats (because of its ability to damage frigs and cruisers as well as BS) and be able to field a much more powerful tank. If your doing wormholes in gangs, fitting remote repair on each ship makes it much more easy.
   
   As for this, if you insist on using a raven, lose the noob stab in the lows. The feeling of safety its granting you is purely psychological as the most   likely pvp ship to hunt you would be a cloaked recon, and they would sneak up nice and close to you so their entire gang would get a warp in point on you. Fit a remote repair for groups in the highs and let someone else worry about a scan probe. Fit at least 2 ballistic controls in the lows and consider swapping over to cruise launchers so you can remote repair and deal damage effectively. Once the warp stab is gone you can lose the signal amplifier and free up another low slot.
  
   If your intending to solo, well all I can say is a drake can fit an incredibly tough passive tank, is alot cheaper on the wallet and is a far more lethal opponent for force recon ships to take down. Fitting t1 mods to this doesn't make much sense because those 3 rigs cost more then all your mods combined...
  
   Anyway, just alot of reasons i can see flying this is not a good idea.

  As said above, this is a fail ship.  Drakes are better, more DPS than this bird, and if you do plan on doing any wormhole type operations, either go with a gang, or take a fully fit T2 that looks similar to something you'd do for mission running.  By the looks of this, your expecting only to fight Battleships, which is a false ideal that most new players who go into a wormhole figure out quickly.
  
  IF, and big IF, you do wish to take this thing into a wormhole, ignoring the advice given, take a few friends with you that can do logistics.  Also drop salvager for a shield transporter or armor repper, you may need the probes to get out, but you also need to be able to keep your gang mates alive.  Lots of preparation goes into a wormhole expedition, and most of the time it's not with a single person.
