By the sounds of it the flare gun is only going to ignite. If you use the flare gun you wont have a good way of finishing classes or killing all the other pyros the update is going to bring. It would be a good option though for pyros not using the backburner, if you're coming up behind somebody you could flare them then axe.
The backburner looks good but I don't see it being too overpowered. Its going to be great for taking people down fast that you've got the drop on, which the pyro should be able to do. But I don't think it will help the pyro out that much for uber rushes though. It might make people play smarter against pyros. When an uber pyro is charging too many people turn and run. 4 or 5 people turning and running from the pyro makes no sense. Soldiers and demos should always try to bounce the pyro, if you cant bounce him, run past him. If he turns to finish you then the rest of your team will get away. If he doesn't finish you, you can hold your ground and kill the retreating medic a few seconds later.
Compressed air we will have to wait and see the details on it.
