Not really (Destiny)
Only real gearcheck IMO is the Zamboni, and they're real generous with the timer.
Vosiks is an execution check, Aksis 1 is an awareness check and Aksis 2 is another (fun!) execution check. Aksis doesn't even have more health than NM from what we could tell - downed him in 2 and a half damage phases.
Edit: In fact, the rest of my team suggested this was arguably the easiest HM we've seen so far, largely because the enemies weren't overlevelled to 410 or any similar "fake difficulty" BS. Im incluned to agree, though I see it as a positive rather than a drawback.
