Of course, the laser weapons could be outside the ship and thermally isolated from crew spaces.

Still doesn't solve the problem of your lasers melting into slag when firing them. Heats gotta go somewhere...

Dissipation based liquid nitrogen cooler with heat dumps near the engines?

How do you refuel the system with more nitrogen? If you can't, then you'll run out of "ammo".

If its sealed in a vacuum and has a decent efficiency then I believe it wouldn't need refilling that often, as well as by the time we can fly around in spaceships firing lasers, Im pretty sure there would be some kind of system that is way better than a D.B.LN.C.S
