It sets down at the terminal, so the Luton DART is not needed.

National Express says its services between the two airports require a connection in London. Nothing runs the whole way.
The A8 sets you down at the Arrivals Hall of Victoria Coach Station and the 025 leaves from the Departures Hall; allow time to walk between them.
Every 025 except the 01:30 and 02:30 goes through Heathrow before Gatwick, which is why the second coach takes up to 2 hours 45. It calls at the North Terminal before the South Terminal.
National Express advises being at the airport three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.
