We did it! (Destiny)

Hmm... I wonder if I could tether the middle door on one side or the other and catch all of the adds as they spawn?

You sure can. Cody was running tether. I don't recall specifically about last night, but the few times we did the part before, he would tether the middle door and I'd use Stormtrance to mop up. The adds from the top right door also all pretty much always just come straight down, so you can tether them right as they hit the sun pillar and mop them up there pretty easily, too.

I typically saved my Empowering Rift with Arc Soul for extra boss damage, but having your Warlock switch to Healing Rift and placing it on whichever side is having the most trouble staying alive could also be beneficial. I'm not super sure how much having the Empowering Rift during the DPS phase for the boss really helped.

Almost got him in 2 phases (72x and 70x multipliers, missed by ~3% health). The big change was for us in the throne room. I became a dedicated psion puncher and the other two guys became full-time add murderers. After the 4th scion went down, we retreated to the entrance of the room to clear adds until the big spell happened. Then two of us dpsed the boss whilst the 3rd continued to clear adds.

The only bummer is that the raid milestone disappeared, so we never got that extra "powerful item".
