I like these new pyro updates/weapons a lot.
Using the alt fire to deflect rockets and whatnot is very very satisfying, so is just pushing other players about with it.
The backburner is great when you're the one using it, but I can see it being annoying as hell since it means roughly half the time pyros are going to be hitting you with crit fire. It doesn't have the alt fire stuff though so that'll probably be enough to stop me using it.
The hadoken taunt kills are unbelievable amounts of win, though the chances of doing it in a proper game are very slim
The axetinguisher.. well it seems pointless to me. I don't think I'll ever set someone on fire then take the time to switch to the axe - even knowing it'll be a crit - over just continuing to hold down fire, especially if I'm using the backburner.
The flaregun is fun, setting people on fire at long ranges. Since I never used the shotgun much anyway its completely replaced it for me.
Of course grinding/farming the achievements to get all these is annoying. They're not quite as bad to do as the medic ones (and they've lowered the number of achievements you need to have overall to unlock the next) but still, it's lame.

A LOT easier to get than the medic ones.
