I had been trying to get a group together for my first run for a long time so I was happy to go with a handful of randoms. But I think this had a lot to with the chaos that ensued next.
short version: we made it. I learned nothing.
Question 1: are you not able to revive fireteam members on hard?
2: why "wipe"? And when is it best to do so? I suspect this has something to do with question 1 but it really wasn't very clear
3: can you only get rewards from a raid once a week?

You need to play with a group of people who will teach you the correct way. You shouldn't learn the exploited ways of the raid. For example: wiping during oracles and the Templar fight. Find a Sherpa who will teach you the legit mechanics of the fight. This exploit of fighting from the top with Ice Breakers will soon be slowed by the new weapons patch.
