With illumination and weapons of light active, my fireteam and I can land 30,000 extra damage with my setup than without it.. that's the difference between beating the archon priest on Venus BEFORE the drop ship comes rather than after; it also makes it possible to get random people together and finish the raid and not wipe a single time.
Also, with Arc Blade getting some what of a nerf, the Defender class is a plausible substitute to juggernaut/shoulder charge.

Also, it's worth noting that the bubble only helps after leaving the portal during the Atheon fight, so it gives no help to those defending the portals or on the other side. I won't lie, a defender made our strategy possible in the Atheon fight, mainly by popping his bubble when the relic shield was about to die so we could set up who goes through the portal and who stays back safely, but saying that it will ensure a raid run with randoms without a single wipe when it is only really useful in a couple areas seems like an exaggeration.
