As it stands, youtube-dl ended up being my defacto utility for pulling down Pluralsight videos locally (as well as loads of other content). The command I use is...
youtube-dl --verbose \
--username USERNAME_HERE \
--password PASSWORD_HERE \
--rate-limit 50K \
--sleep-interval 600 \
-o \"%(autonumber)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s\" \
\"URL_TO_COURSE_PAGE\"
In fact, it works so well, that I permanently added a get-course command to my ~/.bash_functions file...
get-course(){
local usage="get-course %COURSE_NAME_FROM_URL% %USERNAME% %PASSWORD%";
local course="$1";
local username="$2";
local password="$3";
local prefix="";
if [ -e "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl" ]; then
prefix="/usr/local/bin/";
fi
if [ -z "$course" ]; then
echo "Problem getting Pluralisight course: Course name not supplied"
echo "$usage"
elif [ -z "$username" ]; then
echo "Problem getting Pluralisight course: Username not supplied"
echo "$usage"
elif [ -z "$password" ]; then
echo "Problem getting Pluralisight course: Password not supplied"
echo "$usage"
else
eval "${prefix}youtube-dl --verbose --username $username --password $password --rate-limit 50K --sleep-interval 600 -o \"%(autonumber)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s\" \"https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/${course}\""
fi
}

Found a solution! Using Firefox and Flashgot it is possible to download all of the video segments in a course. Once the Flashgot plugin is installed, simply launch the course and click "next" through the all of the segments. Flashgot will have logged all of the video URLs. Click download and they are all sequentially stored in the folder of your choosing. MP4Joiner is an app that easily grabs all of the segments and splices them together to create a single MP4. This one video can then be dtopped into the viewer app of your choosing.
