This was a strategy someone else posted that we gave a try and it turned out well. The strategy was about the setup of the team (4 center and 2 left) other then that we were just winging it really planning on dealing with the Ogre wave. Ended up not being the case.
Run took 3 minutes and 40 seconds or so. If you count from when the gates deactivate as the start time and end it when the Crota dies you can subtract a good 35 seconds from that so perhaps it took 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Don't be a noob like me and get shot by Crota. Either hug the wall underneath him or go back into the bottom hallway. I didn't die or anything but still I could have.
If someone wants an explanation of the roles of the players and the level makeup of the raiding party here is a link.

Special thanks to Rev, Posty, Naptap, Nickay, and Last resort aka random british guy who never even fought Crota before!
Enjoy!

I tried the R2 R1 R2 R1 R2 R1 combo in the Sword of Crota mission (for practice) but it doesn't feel faster nor does it feel that there's animation cancelling. What made smashing faster was to push forward while smashing compared to just hitting the smash button. Is there a difference in controls between Sword of Crota mission and the one in the raid? I don't believe there is. If this is not the way the swordbearer in your video used the sword, there must be some other control he was doing to attack that fast (aside from timing on when to attack him).
