TL;DR - i'm guessing 5 talos will do an orca fit like this easy
[edit: forgot to mention i'd incidentally had my nirvana implant set for passive tank for the orca pilot]
at the time i didn't have enough trained up so i'm going with partial to see how far into hull i can get orcas. suiting up a hecate trio next.

02:30 - initial action
02:48 - first concord squad spawns on field
02:54 - second and third spawns
02:56 - peak DPS (2366 effective) & seneschai has a sliver of armor left, heading into hull

majorfreak's listed on paper dps is 1205, hereticus' was 1456, and minor's was 1977 for an avg of 1546.
02:57 - first squad engages majorfreak
03:02 - second squad engages hereticus
03:04 - final squad engages minorfreak

========= ADDENDUM
i was not using polarized, but i figure using such on 5 talos miiiiight just be enough to gank this orca fit. a polarized talos dishes out 2417DPS overheated, drugged and implanted. (compared to this test that's 56% greater dps so that's the equivalent of a 4th talos...not enough, i think, to gank the orca but damned close)

obviously, it would cost a pretty penny and wouldn't be cost effective at all in the pure isk factor. but 200m isk is roughly what my full FOB ganking team can make in 15min. so in that sense this is pocket change. I'm sure an incursion runner could make 200m isk pretty easily as well.
If i was to use this tactic i'd incurr not only killrights on myself but the ire of whomever i decided was unwelcome in that system...it would be something to get tertiary alts trained up on.

special note: obviously, i was too lazy to plug in some command bursts for shield+armor resists/reinforcement. once i get the 2m sp reward for mass test participation i'll definitely start fine tuning this greedy afk orca tank. (obviously my personal idea of orca fitting is a teeny bit different)
