I think you put too much into shields. Cobra is light, agile, hard to hit ship. A quick recharging bi-weave will do just fine. I dropped these shield packs and added more "body" instead. HP's are essential in pvp.

Speaking of weapons...Two medium plasmas are pretty good starters, but you might as well go all multicannon, all frag, medium railguns etc... If you have problems with landing shots with plasma try focused mod - increased projectile speed helps a lot. Also keep in mind that convergence of small hardpoint in a Cobra mk3 isn't too good for a pair fixed weapons like small railguns, but using a single rail + something else like small missile or gimballed weapon works fine..

It depends upon how you advance with the Elite combat rating. If you are harmless no problem. If you advance to Dangerous or Deadly a Cobra won't get the job done with more serious enemies.
