One trick I've started doing to help survive ball-detonation duty is to run past the orb so that you can use the pillar as cover while we wait for Cody's countdown. Breaking line of sight with the adds, even for a moment, seems to be enough to get them to lose interest and shift their focus to the shielded Guardians standing in the middle. You can then step in to your orb and run back without drawing too much fire.

I second this - use that platform for cover (but don't trigger early). It's also a good time to reload while you're waiting there, and the ogres usually drop a heavy or special brick in the water. You don't need to be dead center with a white screen to trigger, stay in the circle but as far into cover as possible. If you've got a nightstalker on the team, he can toss an invisibility grenade as soon as Oryx staggers; this can help the platform team get to the bombs undisturbed.
