I feel the Epic-UK route of 75cm for the Scorpion would be a much more appropriate and sensible way to boost the unit.
3 x MW shots definitely looks OTT to me, it didn't need that much of a boost and having an odd number of shots doesn't fit the model. I've been thinking of running a Scorpion spam 3k list (including 10 Scorpions) to stress test them and report back.
I agree here that the 75cm range seems to work well. The point is that while 3x MW shots is just about ok for a singleton, it tends to get abusive when played as formations of two+ Scorpions. TBH, spamming Scorpions at 3K tends to be difficult because singletons take up slots needed for other formations while larger formations reduce the activation numbers. At 4k and 5k these constraints are both reduced significantly, so I would expect the abusive nature of 3x 2+MW to be much more noticeable.

If the Phatom Pulsar change to 3 shots is felt to be too powerful (I'd want more testing of the change first before making any conclusions) perhaps it could stay at 2 shots a Pulsar but be TK2+ rather than 3+. This would encourage it to move rather than sustained fire, which is more Eldar like.
Like you, I remain unconvinced that this change is absolutely necessary. While I understand the intention for the Phantom to be "shooty" leaving the Warlock as the "assault monster", 6x TK seems a little OTT. I also like the suggestion for TK2 as an alternative that would gear them more towards WE and titan killers rather than boosting them in general.
