I've been using my cutter in CZ to great effect. I don't have the coriolis loadout handy (its on my other computer... I know it's online, but it's in the web cookie, I think.), but I have an A8 shield, 8 class A shield boosters, an A7 distributor, C8 thrusters (which I find to be adequate, but will probably upgrade when I get more money), and a mess of pulse lasers.
I have the four medium pulse lasers as turrets. They give pretty good coverage, and since this thing doesn't handle like an eagle, I like that I can keep hitting something while I'm working to get the turn on them (which yes, I can). The 2 large and 1 huge have large gimballed pulse lasers. I anxiously await getting non-ballistic huge weapons. (I hate wasting ammo on missed shots, and generally don't like having weapons that depend on ammo, and can run out.)
Having all lasers means I can shred shields, but taking out hulls is a bit slow. However, the Cutter is a bona fide shield tank, so I can usually afford to take my time until 2 or 3 ships with particle accelerators gang up on me. I still have strong enough shields to sometimes make them regret the move, and always have time to escape if need be.
