The trick to shooting a wirey little $#!% guy that won't hold still and runs at the first sign of trouble: kill them before they make it to their hole. That's asking a lot coming from me, even with a mouse, but it's still the best course of action. Other lights could give chase and I imagine that game of cat and mouse would be HELLA fun. For taking on heavies, they better make those head shots count because they'll be in the open for a good period of time longer than they really should in theory.
Also, a smart player, especially with a mini-gun, would carpet the light's predicted destination with lead then track back onto them, effectively denying them the area and even forcing a change in direction (which could be fatal) or forcing them to pray they make it through the storm of bullets.
My favorite tactic: giving the enemy choices they'd rather not have to make. Hesitation = murdered.
