I dislike it with one exception.
I like it being a valid tactic against long-range snipers, a nice counter to them other than closing in.
Perhaps they could modify the amount of shake based on how zoomed in a pilot is? This would let them still disrupt long-range fire while not being such a beastly nuisance in pt-blank range.

i for one like the shake, it lets me know when im taking alot of damage. i agree that some weapons should put out less shake then others and vise versa. and depending on the weight class of the mech they are firing at.
I mainly want lots of shake when im getting pelted with LRMS cause sometime I just dont see them and if theres no shake I dont even realize im being hit by them. Even with the incoming missile warning, if i hide behind a building and still get hit from behind, I wouldn't even know i got hit if it wasn't for the shake. It helps with quick reactions so your not always studying your armor status.

lets put it in perspective
Machine Gun, 0.2 damage per shot, no screen shake, but lots of incendiary rounds in your face, 2000 (200 in TT I would bet that it works out with the fire rate) rounds per ton, 12.7mm (.50 cal) average (in canon)
Class 2 Autocannon, 2 damage per shot, massive screen shake and shells exploding in your face, 75 (45 in TT) rounds per ton, 25mm on average (in canon)
Class 5 Autocannon, 5 damage per shot, strong screen shake screen shake, 25-30 (20 for both UAC and AC in TT) rounds per ton, 50mm on average
Class 10 Autocannon, 10 damage per shot, or 10 1 damage pellets, haven't been shot by it enough to know, 15 (10 in TT) rounds per ton, 120mm on average, should be best AC in a blend of range power and ammo
Class 20 Autocannon, 20 damage per shot, little screen shake, 7 (5 in TT) rounds per ton, 203mm on average
Gauss Rifle, 15 damage per shot, I thought I heard something hitting me oh look my centre torso is red, 10 (8 in TT) rounds per ton, no calibre is listed but I estimate between 90-150mm, ultra high muzzle velocity
