Looking at your setup I'd say getting a 7A PP would be very useful if you want to use those 6A shield cell banks. Or maybe 6B, because they have 1 more charge and less power draw.

Either way remember that engine boost and shield cell banks heat up the ship as well, that combined with continuous fire might be the reason why it heats up so much. Also, firing 2 pulse and 2 burst lasers with 4 pips on WEP until it's drained must take ages, building up heat for the entire time, other ships can hardly shoot 10 seconds before they're drained.

That's all i can come up with, since i use a similar setup and rarely have issues with heat.
