For anyone who's ever wanted to reach Fabled in Comp... (Destiny)

I don't know how the ranking system is working exactly, but there does appear to be some connection to a hidden Trueskill rating, or something along those lines.

This is exactly what is happening. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they are using some form of the Arena system from Reach, and individual performance is actually one of the factors.

My experience in the Freelance playlist has been mediocre. It seems like the players in it are very lone-wolf types (makes sense) and I find myself abandoned constantly with my flank wide open, or players not pushing in obvious push scenarios. I switched back to normal Survival, and find getting matched with 2s to work better (very, very small sample size).
