Both Gauss and dual PPC provide the Blackjack with the crucial ability to not get shot easily while providing serious fire support. It is pretty small, yes. However, the arm angles and low armor become a liability up close.

No, a mech with 56% cooling efficiency does not overheat easily. You only really want to be firing PPCs, you bring MLs as backup.

I just ran both yours and my 2xPPC build through the Tourmaline testing grounds and both appear viable on that map. The only thing I can think of is that my impression of the build was skewed by the (now fixed) bug where our piloting skill perks weren't included when dropping on the Testing Ground maps. So long as one unlocks the Cool Run and Heat Containment efficiencies it should be passable, and completely viable with the eliting of the chassis.
