I think there are 5, with approximate times between (though times can go way longer if you keep failing)

At confluxes 5-10 mins
At oracles ~15 mins
At templar~20 mins
At gatekeepers ~30 mins
At atheon ~30 mins

Atheon fight takes another about 30 mins, giving you an average time of a bit over 2 hours, but with a good team you can do the whole thing in under an hour, or a bad/inexperienced team can take over 10.

Today's daily is easy, only hard part is the last wave it spawns 3 ultra minotaurs. I went back out the cave and it gave me a solid spot to fight from.

Checkpoints are:

The Beginning
Templar's Well + 3x phases of the Templar encounter.
Gorgon's Labyrinth
Vault of Glass (jumping puzzle)
Awaken the Glass Throne (Gatekeeper)
Destroy Atheon (final boss)

I'd say a real experienced team should be able to clear VoG within 45-70 minutes with zero to minimal wipes.

I honestly feel for everyone new to VoG you have to add about an hour to completion for a full run through.

I'd honestly suggest that you all that have yet to do a full run find some time to attempt one today while the mechanics can still be taught in a controlled environment.

I personally love it, I have it fully upgraded and it is my go to primary. Wait until you have a nightfall with Void damage and it will really shine.

would have been perfect for this week's Nightfall.

Tried the nightfall myself (27) for the first time. Was doing fine until the stupid Walker's blue **** managed to sneak by my cover and kill me instantly. Took me ~45 minutes just to get there so I guess I won't be trying that again until I'm at least 28 or have some help.

Didn't know gorgon or jumping checkpoints, but it makes sense.

I'm thinking as part of my stream for Extra-Life 2014 this weekend I'd like to get a Raid Group going.

Went through it on Saturday and didn't get much besides the Shader and ascendant materials.
