I think you are flip-flopped. Rep is easy to get, through bounties/patrols missions/events. Vanguard Marks are the currency you earn from Heroic Mission of the day, Strike Playlist & WeeklyNightfall mission. You need the +rep to level the Vanguard dude to Level 3, then you can buy legendaries with said Marks.
You can also buy legendaries from your Class Specific leader dude, and buy from Xur (he only appears over the weekend). Xur uses those "strange coins" for currency. You can get those from the missions above, as well as random drops from mobs/chests. You also get blues/rares from Cryptarch when you level him up. He sends them as a gift to the Postmaster each time you level him.
I watched those farming videos and while they work very well, I just don't have time to log in and grind all day. I only get an hour or 2 a night to play with buddies, so we just roll with the daily/strikes and pop consumables that extract more glimmer. Seems to work so far.
