900 heat cap isn't all that hard for peeps with divine swoops. overheating that is only in a matter of 2-4 turns for boilers. plus, frantic is heavy on heat cost. the cooling won't even be enough to cancel out one use of frantic.

it's still pretty rare seeing peeps use 2x heat bomb for the more serious arena battles. 

higher ranked boilers these days are probably more into killing enemy cap and cooling than actually boiling. the burning part comes second or maybe even third if there are res drainers present. 

.........

this is how i see things..... this probably applies to how most heat mechs** work in higher ranks. 

1. activate swoop. it's like starting the engine. getting both sides warmed up a little. 
2. use res drainers. immediately starting to crumple the enemy's main defense system. 
3. use red rain. feed for axe and slighly weaken cooling causing the enemy to suffer harder for the next blow. 
4. chop (terrorblade). give some more heat. decrease cap till enemy can't hold it and forced cooldown. (exaggerations)
5. slice and dice (heronmark). sword comes in to help axe add some heat and to add some dmg. make use of that negative res. 
6. repeat 3, 4, 5 a few times. and swoop. 
7. win. 

** probably only applies to mechs that look like this
