What's your tactic for Calus? We can do the other three sections pretty much on the first go or with one or two mistakes, but Calus still takes about 2 hours.
I reckon we aren't pushing the buff enough. Normally they want to drop the shield when we get 50, but this leaves us having to do three damage phases which increases the chance of a mistake.
You want to have at least 70-80 stacks when you take his shield down. Our tactic is to have a warlock put a healing rift next to one of the Psion pillars (but where you can still hit Calus). This takes some of the strain off when deciding when to take his shield down. I've not done the other part yet, but I believe another warlock with the empowering rift can help in there (possibly at the skulls bit).
Other then that, when it gets to the part where you jump on the plates:
Titans should have the pulse grenades unlocked, along with the bottom (I think) path on the tree, which allows for a longer duration and a second grenade. These absolutely rinse Calus (and also the dogs in the pleasure gardens)
Titans should also put the half barricade up on the two plates nearest to Calus, which allows for everyone to fire rockets, tap B to crouch, tap B again to stand, fire second rocket - rinse and repeat.
Cluster bomb rockets do the most damage, so Sins Of The Past works well (If you got it from a previous raid), as does Curtain Call (RNG Vanguard drop).
Coldheart is another decent weapon, as it deals more damage the longer it is hitting an enemy.
With those tips, we've two-phased Calus more times than not
Hope it helps.
