- Peekaboo for BBY user
- Somewhat peekaboo for PPA user and try to keep your distance to limit the PPA's effectiveness due to the spread and it makes SAARE easier to dodge, generally you don't want to face a good PPA user head on or you'll get shredded.
- Move around as much as possible for M4MA to try and make it as hard as possible for them to lead their shots
3: Kill tech first unless "anything" has very little HP
4: Getting upclose and personal tends to limit the effectiveness of hellfires. Peekaboo works well as well.

For brusier, don't fight them when they have the terrain advantage. Wide open spaces are bad for you and good for hellfires.

On a "serious" note: You can't win against a team of techs and Incinerators without doing the exact same and/or outplaying them hard, like the suggestions you already got. It's like playing against a boss character in a fighting game.
You could make a new F2P account and just smurf in lower rankings, where there are fewer techs.

One of Incinerator's bigger weaknesses is the gun spin. If you can force him to boost or otherwise get his guns spun down (emp as mentioned), he's useless for about 3 seconds. Break engagement when he gets spun back up. Repeat to death.
Also, numbers advantage is often trump card. Fight when you are up mechs, disengage when you are down.

1. I'm the only Incinerator I've ever seen at the levels I play at. So far, the things that seem to kill me the most are
a. being alone.
b. Getting snuck up on by a Tech or Raider.
c. Attrition, especially in combination with b.
2. I deal with lone Techs the same way I deal with all small mechs. Spray and pray
3. Target the tech, rain down as much death as possible. Usually they either die or run.
4. Never fought a bruiser.

As a reaper
1) Slug KE till he dies, repeat.
2) Slug KE till he runs, techs don't stay long enough for me to kill, repeat.
3) Slug KE the tech till he runs, slug KE the anything.
4) Stay far and slug KE, dodge into cover when hellfires come. OR stay near and RPR KE while trying to stay in the blind side/turning speed cap of bruiser to avoid his primary. Hellfires are close to useless at CQC. If found at mid range, go into the other 2 ranges or face death (assuming good bruiser player)
So darn broke :(

2: Have grenadier or any AoE damage monster against him. Also depends on map.
3: Focus technician throw EMP and go for the kill but we aware off other allies of his and the healing target.
4: If you are up against good Bruiser. You can just say snipe it down or prepare to loose painfully. Good Bruisers will only lure you on the open ground by pretending they are weakened and tears you apart when finds you on the open ground.

A decent incin will melt a scout before he can mini-flak anything. Unless you are a substantially better pilot than the incin, and you catch him alone, the incin wins that matchup.

2. Techs will usually try to facehug you, back away so you can get AOE damage without hurting yourself.
3. Potshot at tech while you're running away. If they give chase, lead them to teammates.
4. Bruiser is scrub mech, play peekaboo so you can tow/GL/EOCP without getting chewed up by a vulcan. Dodging hellfires is easy.
With any of these pieces of advice you can play patient and slowly work it out to your advantage. Staying alive is always important.
