I think we've found the issue! It seems that the times on those Cassandra servers was being kept in sync by vmware tools using the time of the vmware host machine. We have now turned that off and are using the ntp service to keep the times in sync like we do for our physical servers and we have not seen the gossip failures for the last 24 hours.
