ok so I have one golden Molten Giant card. So if I buy 2 normal ones for 800 dust and they will go to hall of fame I will then get back 800 dust and also be able to disenchant golden one so I will be 1600 dust plus and also got basically 2 Giants for wild for free right?
You will never under any cimcumstances be able to earn some extra dust no matter what you do or tricks, if you make them you get them for free, golden or not, if you don't get them, you don't get them, no dust nor gold or anything else.
So make them if you want them, they are free. If you don't want them, dc them, now or later, doesn't matter.
Wrong. Those who don't have 2 copies of each card can actually gain dust.
e.g. Craft a golden Molten Giant for 1600 - when it rotates, you get the 1600 back - you can disenchant later for 400, resulting in 400 profit.

For cards sent to the HOF. You keep the cards and are only given the full dust up to 2 copies worth (1 if legendary) starting with golden being checked for first. Any additional copies are not given dust for.
So if you have 1 golden and 2 normal you get the dust for the 1 golden and 1 normal. The other normal doesn’t give you anything extra that it would otherwise give.
You can then DE the cards like you normally would. But unlike nerfed cards you don’t get the full dust refund at that point.
Just to make it clear: if you have only one golden Giant and want the dust and not the cards for wild, you can gain 400 dust by crafting the second golden Giant. OP wants to play with two Giants in Wild, so he can't gain extra dust.
Craft 1 more golden copy. That'll give you max dust refund once rotation hits. You may wanna wait until closer to rotation in case you unpack a copy in the mean time.
I'm in the same boat. I went ahead and crafted one regular Giant and will end up getting 2000 dust when the card rotates. That means I'll have a playable set for Wild, but I only actually get 1600 dust for the gold giant I opened as the crafted one gives me the dust right back. I could have crafted a Gold as well, but didn't want to spend the 1600 dust right now.
Ok, but after new expansion hits. Molten Giant will be changed, so we should be able to disenchant it for full value.
Normally yes, BUT in this case it's changed and rotated into the All-stars set. With this you already get the dust for Molten Giant. So i don't think that they will unlock this card to be disenchanted for full value.
And actually it was BUFFED. If this was true, then we would have been able to disenchant Naga Sea Witch for full Value too. (and don't come up with some joke like Holy Wrath Paladin)
Guys! If you create golden molten giant and you don t own already any copy of that card, you ll gain 400 dust in 2 days. Because they will give you 1600 dust (the full price of the card) + 400 dusting it. It s not a nerf, it s HOF

There's a post with a flow chart that works perfectly if you are confused about it (think it is the main thread about this). Basically you want two total copies of a card rotating to hall of fame (one golden + one non-golden or two non-golden or two golden). Two golden copies of each card is where you want to be if you have the dust for it, no need to craft regulars.

no
only got dust for 2 copies of A CARD.
You won't get additional bonus for different versions (golden & normal) of same card

Garrosh did nothing wrong.

You can't gain dust through crafting if the end goal is the have 2x of each card.

So. Many. Threads.
There should be a seperate forum with instructions on how to Hall of Fame...
