I like this design. Seems to keep a lot of the old King Crab with some improvements. Should have enough ammo to keep it in the fight.

I like it if production year was 2830-2860 timeframe. 3070 not so much: by then its outclassed by more modern designs (Kodiak, Dire Wolf, Warhawk) and one of its potential suitors (Smoke Jaguar) is out of the picture.
King Crab has all the trademarks of a mech that should have been given IIC treatment in the early pre-Omni Clan timeframe though: easily identifiable, powerful, popular amongst late-era SLDF pilots, and produced at a Hegemony plant (on Mars) such that blueprints were readily available to the Exodus fleet. A King Crab IIC makes more sense than something like an Atlas or some of the other IICs (Jenner.) Maybe we'll see some of these absent Golden Century designs someday to help fill the history gap. A King Crab IIC that is close to this layout would be welcome as one.

I love the ac 20s, especially the ultras. Never had good luck with the LBX, but that is just me. They do have a place in the game.
I love the ERPPC, but it may be worth going with an ERLL and add in a few ERMLs, or pulse MLs if you don't have the crits for the ERMLs.
It would be a nice surprise to have a variant with dual Gauss Rifles, just to keep the enemy guessing until they fire.
For something closer to the min/max version, using endosteel instead of ferrous armor would net you full armor and leave a ton extra for something else. 309 armor factor over the 286. Maybe squeeze in another heat sink.

Or going just the ER LL and 2 more double heat sinks instead of more lasers. It loses long range head chopping, but extends range a few hexes and makes the heat much more managable. Still works with Endo Steel instead of Ferro Fibrous and yet another heat sink (though you meant 304 armor, not 309 - 309 only nets a half ton savings)
