Still learning this game and encountered something really odd. I've been playing a laser build on a EBJ for some time and have a pretty good idea of what it can do heat wise and all, if I get damaged and lose a heat sink etc.

Today in a match where I didn't have too much damage to myself, I just couldn't get my heat to go down much. I even completely stopped shooting, waiting for it to go to 0 but then after 2 shots it was stuck again. What exactly causes this? Was it some crazy damage to my lasers or something that cause them to overheat like mad after just one shot?

It sounds like the infamous heat bug.

Basically you stop dissipating heat (or it takes a ridiculously long time). Happens once in a while.

On the flip side the opposite sometimes happens and it goes down ridiculously fast, but this seems even rarer, or at least people don't complain about it when it happens...

Personal I believe the servers get confused and assigned your dissipation to another mech.... it would explain both sides.

PGI can't track the source down so were stuck with it every, in my experience, 1 in 100 games.

Is there any way to get rid of it? It just happened again in a game. Seems to be more often than 1 in 100. This time I wasn't even damaged and I couldn't even take 1 shot after my heat filled up. It was going down at a snails pace.

Nothing you can fix from your end. It's a server desync issue, which PGI has been unable to track down/fix in over 2 years.

If you post your build, we can ensure it's not your mech's loadout.
