I run this mission in a semi-passive CNR (2 EM, 2 Ther t2 hardeners + DC + shield rigs for about 250 EM/T EFT defense) without a single problem. Point and shoot.
You're doing something very wrong if you can't keep this up in a Mega with that kind of defense rating.

Ok...stupid question.
What do you mean by "lasting only 1-2 min".
- You are out of shield. Sorry, have to ask this. On a Mega this means nothing.
- You are into structure. That's bad.
- You are out of cap. That's also bad.
I loaded your setup into EFT and with my skills I can run everything permanently with Em/T defense rating of 930. That's quite a lot of defense.
Check to see if you're being NOS'ed. That's when you see an orange funnel that's extending around your ship appx where your shields might be. That'll make you run out of cap really quick.
What I think might be happening is that you simply arent killing things fast enough, which is easy to achieve with noob hybrids. Maybe a little cap drain here or there coupled with a lot of incoming DPS and not killing things fast enough could explain your troubles.
If that's the case, I got bad news for you. This mission is easy. There are many missions much harder than this, so I'm not sure how you'll fare in those. Better insure the ship.

Well, big part of your problem right now is your lack of DPS, and it's only going to get worse.
It can not take you 1-2 minutes to kill 1 cruiser (or a BC). If it does, go back to lvl3 missions cause you will in fact make more ISK that way. And have significantly less risk.
Get t2 drones and train drone interfacing. Drones do wonders against cruisers and frigs.
Do not shoot cruisers first unless you can score a kill before said cruiser gets into orbit.
Your tracking at this point can not handle a cruiser in orbit. Nor will it be able to even after you train your skills up, hitting cruisers in 20km orbit is hard with 350mm.
Your best bet on this particular mission is to take out stationary targets first, the missile batteries. At the same time you just let your drones loose. Depending on your drone skills you may or may not want to control them manually...sucky drone skills will get your drones hung up on a t2 ceptor frigs (the 30,000 bounty ones that can outtank your med drones) while the rest of the gang pummel you to pieces.
I honestly don't know why you're having so much trouble, esp with an active tank.
My CNR has:
2 EM hards
2 Therm hards.
DCII
Large shield ext.
2 field purger rigs, 1 shield extender rig.
This is my tank, and since we're using EFT, it has 240 defense against 50/50 EM/Therm damage. I have 20k shield with 80/83% on EM/Therm resists.
I did this mission recently and I don't remember it (which meant it was not anything worth remembering). I have a t1 XL shield booster fitted for those moments when shields are down to below 30% (which does not happen very often)
So it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma but basically this means two things:
- You lack skills.
- If you want to stick to guns, you need to learn what to kill first. Or get rid of the guns. Guns are NOT easy to use (My first BS was a Rokh).
