Favorite Raid Encounters... (Destiny)

Here are my favorites:

Vault of Glass:
1- Exploring the incredible size of the area. I did not expect it to be nearly as large as it was, and I'm still impressed when I think about it today. That being said, none of the fights really blew my hair back; they were all pretty standard raid faire as I expected from my WoW days.

Crota:
1- The abyss with a full group running it all at once (instead of cheesing it with invisibility) was sooooooo fun. Incredibly awesome experience.

Kings Fall:
1- Opening up the Warpriest's door. That's an incredibly well done bit of mayhem. Lots of fun. I still enjoy trying to snipe the knights up top before my teammate can.
2- You know, the opening sequence where you open up the portal is a lot of fun too.
3- The Tombship jumping puzzle, all except for that one really hard jump.
4- I guess I should put a boss in this list. Out of all the bosses I think I like the Warpriest the best.

I agree with your list here! Though I should add: There are no hard jumps on the jumping puzzle. I know exactly where you think there's a hard jump. Don't jump at all there. Just move to the back left of the ship you're on and let that other one fly right by (it's going from left to right, yeah?). Jump on the *next* ship (which moves from right to left).

I think it's surprising I don't really love any of the boss encounters from Kings fall.

Except warpriest? I think the golgoroth fight has neat mechanics, but the oryx fight is awful imo. I don't like any FPS encounter where there's no room for a single player to be a hero and save the day if someone else makes a single mistake.
