We ran Crota on Normal last night. Crota himself was giving us a tough time. We were using the window-ledge hard mode technique, and things just kept going wrong. Sword barrer wouldn't cooperate, Crota killing me while I was invisible, etc. But over time, we worked out the kinks.

The good thing about running the fight over and over is that I got my first chance to really experiment with using a Hunter as the sword wielder. Using cloak and blink strike, I worked out the timing such that I could land 4 or 5 sword slams per attack, for massive damage. In the end, we brought Crota down in 2 rounds.

I'd actually go as far as to say that a 31 Hunter may be preferable over a 32 of any other class when choosing a sword wielder (of course a 32 Hunter is preferable).

Here's a video from my perspective, for anyone who's interested:
