Not first time legend, but first time legend with Priest.
After a period of trial and error I came to this version of Resurrect Priest. It seemed superior to any other Priest deck I had ever played, so I played it straight from rank 7 to legend with a 69% win rate.
Mulligan Guide
Always keep Injured Blademaster, Auchenai Soulpriest and Priest of the Feast.
If you have any of the above, also keep Resurrect.
If you have Auchenai, also keep Circle of Healing.
If you have Circle, also keep Embrace the Shadow.
Keep Excavated Evil against Shaman, Mage and Warlock.
Shadow Word: Pain:
Always keep it against Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Hunter and Warrior.
Against Druid and Priest keep it only if you already have a good hand.
Never keep it against Rogue and Paladin.

Yogg, while theoretically good because there's so many spells, is bad for Resurrect Priest. We don't ramp up or cast spells as quickly as Druid. If Yogg is in our top-15 cards it clogs the hand way too much.
I used to play a similar version to this. I took out a 2nd Auchenai for a 2nd Embrace. I think this change should be done. Auchenai is REALLY bad with Priest of the Feast. Embrace does what it needs to and gets out of the way. Not sure if you ran into this issue because looks like you went on a heater with a 69% win-rate.
I like the blue print. I have a very similar build. Curious your thoughts on the following:
Drop 1 auchenai and add a second embrace the shadows. This now puts you at 18 spells in the deck. Insert Yogg into deck somewhere. And possibly after that..consider replacing bogs with arcane giants.
Was the bog taunt crucial? thanks for your write-up, I like this playstyle and I plan to use this with minor tweaks.
