There's no doubt about it, Nym + Dengar is brutal. That's a fleet I expect to see ravaging tournaments.

If you're flying low-health ships, then Nym is your highest priority. Maybe even if you're not. The bomblets and autoblaster can cut you down far too quickly, and Nym's lower defense and lack of a counterattack makes him easier to cut down. Dengar is best to flank but that's hard to do with the jumpmaster's obscene dial.

My triple Auzituck list (Expertise + Tactician + Breach Specialist) thrashed the Dengar+Nym fleet I fought, but that might have been a fluke. Also it would suck to buy 3 tucks just to counter his nym+dengar; that starts an arms race of purchases. Ideally you can find a strategy with the ships you have, especially if you can keep easily adapting that strategy to whatever adjustments he makes.

Let me think for a bit on what you can do. I hope others here can offer suggestions too.
