If you have squaddies with Warp/Reave, the SM is pretty easy (even on Insanity) regardless of what class you're playing.
Getting off track here, but the only class I don't like playing much on Insanity is Vanguard. I don't care what anyone says; Charge is not a good ability on Insanity. The key to using Charge "better" is to use it less often, basically. Generally, it's either a suicide move or a "win more" move. Occasionally, you can actually use it to get out of a sticky situation, but that doesn't make it good enough.
Charge basically ruined the Vanguard class for me. Enemies recover from it instantly or just shake it off like nothing happened. I don't even pick that class anymore.
do you use heavy charge?
I prefer Heavy Charge to Area Charge, but whatev.
Like I said, Charging is either a suicide move or a win more move. You either get yourself killed or you win a battle you were already winning a few seconds faster. It's "fun," but not usually smart. I've done two Vanguard playthroughs on Hardcore and Insanity, and basically what I learned was that Charge was best used as a finishing move or a "get the eff out of here" move.
But we should probably get back on topic...
