The fight is easy if you are equipped with highly powerful weapons and are all 34. I completed it with ease with my regular fireteam. We're all 34, have Gjallarhorn's and powerful shotguns. I can understand why people that have only played the fight in this scenario believe that it's easy.
I played it tonight with 2 level 33 friends. We got through to round 5 with relative ease. I wasn't expecting how difficult he was going to be for us. We tried for 3 hours and ended up giving up. I think the main problem was that they were level 33 and didn't have enough powerful weapons to deal with the containment shield and the hundreds of additional adds. I would focus on the boss, but the enemies would end up piling up and I'd have to spend too much time trying to thin them out. The Eye would also hide, which made it hard to break out of the containment shields.
Ammo would also become a problem. There were a few attempts where we spent multiple cycles just killing adds and not focussing on the boss.The adds would stop spawning and during that period, ammo would dry up. This is the first fight in Destiny where I have ever had a problem with lacking ammo. The battle music also stopped playing on a couple of attempts. That said to me that we were taking way too long to get through the encounter. The major Hobgoblin's were also a massive threat.This experience made me understand why some are saying it's difficult.
Overall, I saw both sides. This fight can be easy or hard. It depends on your fireteam, their level and loadouts. This fight requires all 34's if you do not have the best weapons in the game IMO. If you look at most strats on YouTube, most have full teams of 34 and are only using Gjallarhorn. This works well, but not everybody has access to it.

I've helped several 33 get to 34. Me and another guy with our Gjallarhorn and we made sure that they had decent launchers. Like truth or a good fast reload legendary launchers.

Yeah, I think it would have been much easier with another 34 with a Gjallarhorn. They didn't have many good weapons, so it made the fight impossible for us.
