Get C-level Focus and Willpower area diseases - DON'T use mind pool diseases.
Chuck them into a crowd of raiders and wait for them to scatter - like even well-organized groups do when hit with an area.... They'll get the blue flashes but wonder why they're not losing any precious mind, and most likely won't Ctrl-C to see what's getting hit and assume they're bugged or you just used a crappy disease. It shouldn't take long for their secondary stats to blackbar (even if they pop food/drink/spice) and mind-intensive specials like Headshot 3, and other CMs and Doctors will find their specials will start costing a lot more and find themselves taking a LOT more damage with no mind regeneration whatsoever.
You CAN mix this combo with an area mind poison too if you want to take people down fast - or just mix poison and disease for the traditional guaranteed incap.
When I had CM diseasing those 2 stats were my staple attacks

going after action secondaries is particularly crippling to some classes too :,

Yeah, i have to say i have considered similar tricks and whatnot, particularly for the TKA or rifleman in your life 
though regarding the poison/disease incap i hear this does not work anymore...
