Wow, I tried out the Vanguard and I am amazed at the class. Some keys to making it work on hardcore:
Shockwave - Holy *bleep*. This move is not for damage, its just to stagger enemies and pop them out of cover. An boy is it effective! Korgan charging you, shockwave, strip armor with pistol, shockwave again. It has such a ridiculously low cooldown. This is how you fight at range with Vanguard.
Charge - should be renamed flank. Proper use of it can end fights prematurely because you've bypassed a spawn point.
Geth Plasma Shotgun - What is this weapon? Amazing range for a "SHOTGUN". Great clip size for a shotgun. I save its ammo for charges though since it doesn't have much ammo.
Thats about it. I think I'll use Jack for her Warp Ammo and PULL, and Miranda or Thane for Warp explosions. Use pistol/SMG to quickly strip multiple enemies of protection by abusing Shockwave to give me time to shoot and then BAM, explosions everywhere. I think I'll save points for using Energy Drain for times when its not wise to just charge into a mass of enemies.
Lastly, don't forget about the trusty heavy weapons. A grenade Launcher can one shot a cluster of enemies that I otherwise can't charge into. Using the Heavy weapons makes fights faster. And speed is why I am playing the Vanguard.
