Reload cancelling? That sounds very useful.
Man I finally tried and completed some missions on Gold and it was actually easy. One the guys had a Salarian Engineer and put him out and distracted EVERYTHING. We played Firebase White against the Geth and hid behind the ship at the extraction point. Hardly anyone went down and we did it in 27 minutes.

It is indeed, you can do it in two ways:
- If you're standing outside cover but near one, after the heat sink goes inside the rifle but before the next motion, press the cover key. You'll get the rifle fully reloaded and skip on the next 2 seconds of animation. If you're not near cover, you can simply roll in the same moment, this is a very good way to avoid incoming gunfire if you're caught in mid-reloading and still be able to fire back with a full gun.
- If you're in cover, simply press the cover key at the aformentioned moment while pressing whichever direction key puts you out of cover. With this, you won't compromisse your position at all, as you can get back to cover pronto.
This is for classes that don't have grenades, because with those, it's much easier to do reload cancelling, even if your grenade stock is 0. Just press the grenade hotkey/button at the same moment as I said before. You'll notice the grenade icon flashing and your gun will be reloaded. This is an amazing way to do continuous fire even with the super slow reloading snipers like the Mantis or Widow or Assault Rifles like the Geth Pulse Rifle, which also has a very slow reloading time.
Firebase White and Firebase Glacier are both pretty easy to do in Gold with a proper team and by standing in the proper locations for crowd control.
On Firebase White usually I stand on the left side cover of the bottom of the only ladder and the rest of the team position themselves on cover at the top of the ladder and near the top entrance to the building. That forces the enemies to spawn on the opposite side of the building and you can control them easily from there, occasionally taking out the random straggler that drops into the landing zone (usually it's nothing worse than a Rocket Trooper with Geth enemies, but with Cerberus even Phantoms drop there).
As for Firebase Glacier, you don't have to move from the starting position at all. Just position two guys in cover at the right entrance of the landing zone, and two other in cover at the left entrance at the top of the stairs.
Actually, I've done almost all maps on gold, the only one I haven't tried is Reactor, mostly because that one is shitty for any kind of crowd control.

Man thanks for the tip, that'll be extremely helpful.
I do have 1 more question though...how the hell did you get 144k points in one match? Because for me I always get between 50-90k no matter what difficulty it is. I just can't imagine how it's possible to get 144k points in a single match.
