I almost hate to admit it, but I kind of like the original Mauler. I guess I'm just a sucker for long-range weapons.
It's hard to argue with twin LB 10-X's; this looks pretty nasty. I probably would have dropped the PPC for another ER Large and more heat sinks, if only for symmetry.

I agree with both comments. If there is space for it, than using two tons from PPC downgrade for DHSs would be good idea.

Not bad, but again, give it some more DHSs (single med laser won't save you if something gets near, so allowing the ACs to support the PPCs would help)

[oldmanimpression]
You want it to have WHAT? MORE heat sinks? Why, in my day, we had 'mechs that would overheat from firing ONE WEAPON while WALKING! This ain't your fancy clantech, boy! When things get hot, STOP FIRING THE BLASTED PPCS![/oldmanimpression]
If you just excercise a little fire discipline (as in, not alpha-striking every turn), you'll have plenty of heat dissipation to go around, not to mention stretching an already-impressive ammo load.

You don't loose that much, actually only one DHS (instead of med laser) would be sufficient.
As you already mentioned, the ammo load LRM/AC combo may last for twelve rounds, if the LRMs are alternated with PPCs than it's 24 rounds. But there is still overheating while doing so. PPCs and AC (if fired on ultra mode) produce 24 heat so you must stand still, if you don't want to lose speed for next round. Of course that there may not be the need to fire the ACs, but there is no need to conserve the ammo, unless you are in campaign where ammo must last longer. Cooling down in "LRM round" is no problem. Of course the difference between 3/5 and 2/3 is negligible and using ACs in standard mode in "PPC round" eliminates the problem (but lowers the damage output a little).
I just wanted to say that the mech would be able to fire more weapons, not that the mech is poorly made (it isn't).
