It's hard to maintain awareness of other player's arcs of fire. The blue triangles on the hud can give an indication, but they don't tell you where the torso and all the murder tools are pointing.
I've TK'ed and been TK'ed a few times now. If I do it, it's usually tunnel vision in advanced zoom. If it happens to me, it's usually because i'm in a light, doing the PUG thing and humping an enemy that's being focus fired, in which case... totally my fault.
I think it's just a part of life, especially in pugs, and good on you for apologizing. To me, the TK'ing isn't always the worst part; the player reactions usually are. I had a MadCat seemingly teleport and walk in front of me once while I was firing at an enemy, and holy cow, the ghosts of MechWarriors past watching from my cockpit were horrid little creatures indeed. In my estimation, I had 0.023 seconds to react, and thanks to beer, failed.
