If you have 2 titans, I would say yes (Destiny)
Run #1 (1-Gaze, One Orb, Titan bubble and fireteam in the front left tunnel)
This approach enabled great damage to Golgoroth; he can easily be dropped in 3 cycles (likely two). It puts more strain on the gaze holder, however - he has to grab the gaze quickly after dropping the orb. We had difficulty with this aspect; when it took too long to grab the gaze the pool ran out early.
Run #2 (1-Gaze, One Orb, Fireteam distracts from back right)
As usual, this worked well, but required 4 cycles of damage. It's a timing issue; the DPS team looses 4-5 seconds getting from the back right to the pool. This approach does make it easier on the gaze holder, as they don't need to drop the orb, and the target for grabbing the gaze is much larger.
Run #3 (1-Gaze, One Orb, Titan bubble only to distract from back right)
This was almost as good as the first run damage-wise. It took 3 cycles, but it was much easier on the gaze holder. The single Titan and bubble on the back right kept Golgoroth's attention, so we had the benefits for the gaze holder and the fast access to the pool for the team (but lost some DPS as the distraction titan has less time in the pool).
In all 3 runs, we had a Weapons of Light Titan Bubble and a hunter tether during the DPS phase. We had a person dedicated to thrall control for the taken round, and the second gaze holder (for the challenge) had to abandon the pool early to get the gaze in time.
All three strategies are viable; we had some wipes but they were just normal mistakes (a missed unstable light, a couple of accidental deaths, and an early gaze grab). We took some time at the beginning trying variations in the first run, seeing if the fireteam can assist with the timing of the orb drop/gaze grab, but ultimately the best run for that strategy came when the gaze holder dropped the orb and got the gaze quickly solo. In any case, if you've got 2 Titans, give the Distraction bubble a try!
