I'm liking the dispersion, but a few small changes.
1. Tone down the dispersion some. I have shots missing at 40m on a tank. Ideally, the dispersion should allow 90% of my shots to hit a tank broadside at optimal range.
2. Add in recoil. Ideally my first few shots should be fairly accurate, and then they start to get farther and farther off target. It should take 3 seconds to go from maximum dispersion to maximum accuracy.

You both have a point. Tying dispersion to heat is a good idea, and you have a point on feathering the trigger. But a slow reset would help mitigate this. Perhaps instead employ option 1 only. As long as I can be confident in the massive majority of my shots hitting a tank broadside at my optimal, I will be happy.

At optimal range for ion cannons, which is 85m, the dispersion is the size of an installation. Thus makes hitting most anything beyond 40m very difficult. I don't want them to be pinpoint precise like before, just a 30-50% reduction to what we have now. Infantry still won't get sniped by them at range anymore, and it will help it be a better AV weapon.

Recoil sounds sensible and good mechanic - however it would largely counter the purpose of adding the dispersion. Dispersion was added to remove LBlaster sniping of infantry. All it takes me is that 2-3 shots at head for most suits. Will 1st shot land spot on now? Dunno, have to test.
Fairly accurate as in not pinpoint. Some dispersion is fine, but if I carefully pulse my shots, I should be rewarded with more accuracy. No more sniping headshots from 120m away, but I should land consistent hits to infantry at around 50m or so. A slow reset would offset this, meaning you can't just tap the trigger and kill like pre alpha. 4-5 shot burst with a 1-2 second cool down to reset back to maximum accuracy, means large blasters can kill infantry, but not hordes of them like before.
