I usually manage to out-strafe Heavies and gun them down with my Commando in PUIBs, but in PC that gets me ripped to shreads unfortunately.
If I had to pick any of the suggestions in this thread, I'd have to go with Scheneighnay McBob's or Pvt Numnutz's. That way the Sentinel w/HMG still maintains the point defense and breaching capabilities, but it'd encourage using it as a support weapon as well.
Amarrians would prefer you be faithful... I'd rather you be logical.

In 4 seconds, how many times can a Heavy pirouette?
In 4 seconds, how many times can an HMG kill and rekill a 300HP Scout?
So now that we've taken away his only effective tool, what should we advise that newbro Scout to do?
Before I answer your questions, allow me to place 4s into perspective.
The average human has a reaction time of about .215s. In order to not react in time, you'd have to be 18.6x slower than the average human. You could say that while the human does have that fast of a reaction time, the speed of the Sentinel makes that a bit misleading.
However, the blast radii of Remote Explosives is only 5m. Taking the Sprint Speed into account, a Matari Sentinel will have 1.42s to react, Caldari and Gallente Sentinels will have 1.35s to react, and an Amarr Sentinel will have 1.3s to react.
With that in mind, a Matari Sentinel will have to be 6.6x slower than the average human to react, Caldari and Gallente Sentinels will have to be 6.3x slower than an average human to not react, and the Amarr will have to be 6.1x slower than an average human to not react.
As for your questions, I'm planning on running tests later to see the rotation speed of the Sentinel with the X and Y Sensitivity set to 100. I'll be able to answer that shortly.
In reply to your second question, in 4s an HMG can kill and re-kill a 300HP Scout 10.56 times.

Charged knife shot to the back followed by a couple of rounds of CR (or a SG blast, if you want a heavy takedown suit) should do the trick. It worked great at taking down heavies before I got tired of instadying to shotgun Gal scouts from nowhere. Or get a RR and shoot the heavy anywhere from 45-90 meters away while strafing. Otherwise? Don't plan on going after heavies as a light suit. Its not a good idea. Stick to Ewar and ganking other scouts and mediums as a general rule.
The problem with that second part, is that the Light Frame/Scout is the designated counter of the Sentinel. Saying that Scout shouldn't plan on going after them is analogous to saying that an AVer should refrain from going after HAVs.
I'm not going to explain why that's a problem, as I hope that your smart enough to understand why.
