Since the Gauntlet is the first challenge in the raid this week, and since I noticed that there is apparently a complicated strategy floating around, here's a clip of our raid group doing our simple, stress-free strategy.

• Since the Dog and Chalice platforms have two people on them at the beginning, those groups can split up after clearing their side of adds and help the other two people take care of their own adds and Centurion, before meeting back up at their own platforms to clear out the Centurion.
  
• As soon as your targets turn green (or red), jump off your platform over to them and face your pillar. When your Psion spawns, you can simply punch him on your way back to your pillar, as you won't be launched away.
  
• When shooting targets, designate who will shoot top and bottom targets. I shot bottom on my own, and on my teammate's while he shot top on his own, and on his teammate's.
  
• When you're making the final run, the two fastest folks (generally the two who have been running the entire time) take off first, and they grab the first timer buffs, and then alternate between grabbing and skipping them. The next two folks should wait a few seconds, before following and skipping the first set of orbs before following the pattern of grabbing every other one. The two slowest people (ideally the ones who have trouble with platforming) follow last, taking their time (the important thing is to not die), and grabbing orbs at every stage of the race.
  
• I clearly botched the jump in the video (I haven't missed it a single time since, honest!), so my teammates prioritized rezzing me before slamming for the win.

Also, as a bonus, here's us trying to go get the Armory key right after, but running into a small hitch at the Ventilator...
