I hate posters who brag on the forums and to that end I will preface by saying I am an OK player who enjoys running a scout.
My two cents in response to cutting down on your deaths is be more selective in the engagements you choose. Scouts are usually paper thin and you have to be realistic in the fights you choose.
It takes some discipline to pass up a target.
I believe a scout should play to it's strengths so I like your use of eWar mods but not the RR.
RR is a longer range weapon and I prefer to use my scout's speed and stealth to sneak up when possible on a target and attack closer and from behind, insuring I get the first shot to mitigate my lack of HP.
Use the scouts strengths to dictate the terms of the fight and your deaths will go down, but this takes discipline.
Dominion over others is given not taken. Nothing has power over you but your own fear.

1. Never put a rail rifle on a scout. Doesn't need to be a shotgun, but it should be a high-alpha weapon, such as a scrambler rifle, plasma cannon, sniper rifle, or even a combat rifle.
2. If you need to strafe, you're doing it wrong- as a kill-focused (I'm assuming shocktroop) scout, you should be flanking and attacking from the rear, so that the enemy doesn't get a chance to shoot at you in the first place.
3. equipment helps, and it doesn't need to be a cloak. REs and nanohives could be a nice combo.
I have no idea what RAs and PEs are. Range amplifiers and precision enhancers. I don't use the cloak that much. I already have REs so I'll put a nano on instead. So switch out RR for SCR or CR. I flank poorly, obviously cause I need to strafe far too often. I don't know about damage mods, I work better with my passives.
I agree with the replies but strafing is going to be a necessary skill to improve because try as you might the truth is you are going to find yourself in situations that didn't go the way you would like and you are going to be in a gun fight.
Scouts can strafe better than other suits so again play to this strength by learning to strafe well. Personally, I like a SMG for this purpose.
As for equipment, RE's should be a requirement for scouts. A scout when not killing should be flying around the battlefield planting RE's on Null cannons in skirmish while hacking. They are also great for taking out fatties who chase scouts around corners (again use that speed).
I prefer drop uplinks instead of nanohives. Nano's are better for a stationary player and you should be always ZOOMING. Drop uplinks get you great WP's, help the team, and fit the scouts role nicely as you move around the map dropping them.
Oh, and I wasn't saying the OP was bragging, but rather that I wasn't claiming to know everything. Just opinions from my own experiences.

Have no gungame in an FPS? Be a heavy.
Still have no game game in this FPS? Be a heavy with a rail rifle standing 50m+ back and allow aim assist to do the work for you.
Want speed, health, and re-gen ability, topped with stealth? Be a scout.
Still can't muster any gungame? Chuck a Core Locus Grenade...
Can't do anything in this game? Be a tank.
Can't fight other tanks? Be an ADS pilot.

6. Unless its chasing FoTM, nothing in this game matters
No one enjoys this negative crap. Some of us enjoy the game even with it's myriad flaws.
Posts like this don't make you sound smart or edgy. You are trying to be a contrarian so you can feel superior.
In reality, it only makes you seem like a hypocrite because you are making these comments on the very game's forums that you claim to despise.
If you feel that way, why are you here trying to bring other's down? Just leave.
