At long last, I finally have it!!! I beat Atheon on Hard for the 6th time tonight (thanks largely to my awesome Raid team; also beat Crota on Hard for the very first time) and it finally dropped for me! I can't believe it!
That leaves Necrochasm as the only Exotic I've yet to unlock. I have Eidolon Ally, and thanks to my stellar Raid team, I also have the "Glowhoo" shader; which I'm told has to have been unlocked at least once before the Crux of Crota will drop. That's for some other time, though; I only just started upgraded my new Vex Mythoclast, and I wanna get this baby maxed out.
I still think they should improve the drop rates in Vault of Glass to be more like Crota's End; from what I've heard on these forums, I'm think I got REALLY lucky getting the drop on only my 6th attempt.

"Finally" after six times lol... Before bungie made it easy to get for the new influx, it used to take 4-5 times that. All the new players won't be able to appreciate the effort put into acquiring a vex pre-Xmas. Took me 35 hard Atheon kills to get mine.
