Also… *SP* (Destiny)

The Crota's Presence debuff prevents health from regenerating, so the only way to heal during the fight is with the Chalice of Light found below Crota (or via gear with health-regen perks like Red Death).

Red Death and Suros do not heal you. Presence of Crota prevents healing of any kind without the chalice. Even "regenerates health on orb pickup" perks do not work.

It is a really cool debuff, gives the feeling that Crota is bad news and requires a change in tactics. I also thought the Oversoul was really cool, actively punishing players for death but still giving them the chance to recover from a mistake.

Although I've heard it is possible to negate Crota's Presence with a similar tactic to how you can become invulnerable to Gorgons, lose Time's Vengeance, etc. Seems like more trouble than it's worth, though--it's not that much of a problem.
