Although i too think the leak is true, why not just be patient and wait till the actual card is spoiled? Then there will be a dedicated thread opened for the card and then all the discussion is packed in one nice little thread :)
I do think its safe to asume the leak was real. Vol'jin is a great card but priest is going to have a lot of great options. Im not sure how the new priest decks will end up looking like.
If the card is true, it will be an excellent card against handlock or other control decks, but underwhelming against zoo or hunter. Meta-dependent card like Harrison Jones.
I don't trust the leaks because the Rogue legendary was released creates an infinite loop that gives the opponent infinite mana and will fill your hand up with coins and deny you a draw every turn. So the cards may be true but the effects are probably suspect.

You can basically do the same in a Mill deck/Randuin Wrynn.
If this card is real then I feel like it would be in every priest deck. It's really good because it has a pseudo damage battlecry. It's like a Stormpike Commando with 2 more attack that buffs its own HP.
Yes but my point is that I do not believe that blizzard would give a class legendary that would essentially lock yourself from ever drawing a for your turn ever again until you find a way to kill your own minion.

Or they might just make the coin no longer a spell.
Best reasonable case scenario: You get something like a 5/8 and deal 6 damage for 5 mana. (Giants, Rag, Dragons, Ysera which gives you a 5/12)
Common scenario: You get a 5/5 and deal 3 damage for 5 mana. (The Loathebs, Yetis, Cairnes, etc)
Below average scenario: You get a 5/3 and deal 1 damage for 5 mana. Yuck.
The way I see it, more often than not you'll get really good value out of this legend after turn 5.
ALSO, Guys, don't forget that when playing Priest, 2 Health is a delicious number for enemy minions to be at. Auchenai Soulpriest + Hero power, Holy Nova, Holy Smite, Shadowform, Crazed Alchemist + Cabal... 2 Health for Priest is the MAGIC number. This is a great legendary.

Doubtful. Their data suggests that going second is still not equal with going first, so I don't think they would suddenly reduce the bonuses given for going second. It would also mean adding a 4th class of card to the game, which then brings into question why things like spare parts are still 'spells' instead of this 4th non-spell class.
Vol'jin is a hunter! "The shadow hunter Vol'jin, son of Sen'jin, is the current Warchief of the Horde, as well as Chieftain of the Darkspear tribe." www.wowwiki.com/Vol'jin
It's too perfect to be real, think about the synergy between Priest converted hero's power. Enough, I just can't believe it!
He's Shadow Hunter/Shadow Shaman, ye he have some healing abilities but he fits more shaman theme (Hex, curses, summoning serpent wards etc.) but i guess there are many more shaman characters that fits legendary slot than priests so they probably gave vol'jin to priest class.

Considering now I think it's safe to assume that that leak from awhile ago was true, does anyone else think that Vol'Jin is a really strong card?
Stats are:
5 mana, 6 attack, 2 Health.
Effect:
Battlecry: Swap this minion's health with another minion.
What's wrong with early speculation?

I'd definitely consider it in any aggro-Priest variant, being able to trade a minion with Loot Hoarder is some pretty insane value.
This card is awesome, I hope they will release it.
We really need legendaries that have less mana than the usual 8-9 drops that we have now.
No way! Come on! Vol'jin on a priest's deck!?
