The mechanic exists... (Destiny)

Nothing beats the Atheon Encounter.

After that, most of VoG. The only part of VoG I kind-of-don't-like is the Conflux defense, because it's essentially an auto-scroller. There's literally nothing you can do to speed up the fight, you're just waiting on enemy spawn timers.

Honourable mention goes to the Abyss in CE (minus the end bit, which also suffers from waiting-on-timers-itis)

Edit: Although, the conflux phase does provide an opportunity for a fresh team to familiarize themselves with the arena's geometry, without too much pressure. Still wish it could be sped up a bit.

Interestingly enough, with the Conflux public event. The faster you kill the Vex, the sooner you're being swarmed by more powerful (and plentiful) Vex. If they had that mechanic in the Raid (Year 3 VoG, Bungie?), it would be a great trade-off. You finish faster, but you are also being attacked by more powerful enemies.

Alternatively, there's a set number of Vex that can spawn, and doing damage to the Confluxes would get the Templar to spawn them faster in a desperate attempt to stop you. Soon enough, your team is chaining Supers left and right in a crazy bid to crush the Undying-Mind-levels of Vex coming at you, but the entire event is done in three minutes...
