I think they might actually award Legendary Boss takedowns on how much damage you do to the boss.
I have played a few games were I have gotten the kill for a Legendary boss while I was dead or not shooting. I thought it was just buggy. But each of those times I took out a large portion of their health. Usually 50% or more.
If you look at the commendation for Warzone bosses you get the medal for kills and assists for kills on warzone bosses. But there is no assist? I am thinking instead of an assist, they decided to just award you the same takedown medal instead of an all new one for an assist. I think it may be along the lines of
If you do 50% of the damage or more AND your teamate gets the last shot, you get awarded with the takedown as well. In leu of 343 not creating a whole new boss assist medal and having to explain percentages.
This would also explain why if you look at the game details there is always way more players with Legendary takedowns then there is legendary bosses.

I think you have to hit the boss a few time AND your team needs to take them down.
The game gives credit to the players that did the most damage to the boss. Just watch the scoreboard after people take down the legendary guy at the start of Stormbreak. You will notice that sometimes multiple people have a point for a boss kill. But the game does NOT split it between teams, only among people on the same team.

So it is who does the most damage AND the one that got the final blow? On the same team ofcourse.
