I do pretty well with the asari and N7 Slayer Vanguards on Gold. It's important to have some mode of attack besides charge-and-shotgun, but I still charge a lot. If you exercise a bit of prudence, it's still a good tactic. (Plus, Vanguards are great at setting off biotic and tech explosions, which means extra damage and staggering with each charge.) They're not my favorite characters on Gold, but they certainly don't get ripped to shreds.
