cof1 controller
Ah..gating on cof p1. i can help since ive done this countless number of times. especially when i used to farm the path a few months ago, got help with rotations as well. Ive heard a number of variations, the pros back in the day gave tips to target the controller when the gate opens, use GS 4 → 5 as a gap-closer. Pop stability to prevent his pull, frenzy for quickness at the same time (or was it at the start?) GS 2 → 3 followed by axe F1 if you need it (most times you wont, with this rotation).
IMO the above approach is actually more complicated. the one i use is admittedly maybe a half-second slower, but a little simpler. Pop SoR/FGJ/Surge (for adren) before the gate opens, run up to it and pop stability/frenzy at the same time, GS 2 → 3 → swap to axe → F1 → axe auto (if needed). Here’s a vid to show. Its actually very very easy. http://youtu.be/WZY-jFtHurg?t=5m3s

First time I’ve done CoF in a really long time. If you have decent Might you shouldnt need to use any Axe stuff.
4 -> 5 -> 2 -> 3. Should be dead.
Don’t forget to keep your adrenaline up (standing in lava for a moment just before gate opens to boulder path) and double dodge as people run to their braziers for stick & move trait bonus.
