Very first pack from completing the story line I opened a golden Grommash. Tried him in aggro decks with not much luck, still kept him despite not playing warrior much beyond the first month. Still have him today in a complete control warrior deck.
I'd say you were incredibly lucky. I've been playing since BETA and must have opened between 400-500 packs (maybe more?) and haven't seen a single golden legendary.
That's true, the first two being gold was very lucky.
If only I'd known to use them to pick up good Legendaries right away, rather than spending the dust on a bunch of Commons and Rares that I wanted. At the time, I thought I was being practical rather than indulging in the obvious temptation option ... but that seems so obviously dumb to me now!
Then my luck turned around; I got Sylvanas, The Black Knight, Alexstrasza, and Ysera in packs. Which still isn't quite as good as it sounds, because Sylvanas came along a mere 3 days after I spent 1600 dust to get her. Argh. But I try to pretend that instead of Sylvanas, that pack just had a card that said "Pick any Epic you like." Which makes it still a good pack.
Haven't gotten any more golden legendaries since those first two. The only non-golden Legendary I've DE'd (besides duplicate Sylvanas) was Tinkmaster Overspark.
In GvG I've had a very different kind of bad luck. I've acquired about 50 GvG packs ... and only gotten one Legendary from all of them! But ... I guess I can't complain too much, since it was Dr. Boom.
Good way to see it, I will trick my mind like you did. I've just crafted alexstrasza 2 days ago and next day I've got it from a free pack, from dailies.
That young Golden Thalnos right after beta. Then I DE'd him a month ago for a sylvanis. Do I regret it sometimes? yes. I really miss that 2-drop draw a card+spell damage. plus golden thalnos looks badass as fuck.
My Fisrt legendary was Alexstrasza , but I didnt Think she was that good so I DE'ed Her to get "core" rares like Defender of Argus and some other crap ... :(
Then I got Onyxia, and also DE'ed t for some random crap that seemed better at the time....
On NA/First overall - Prophet Velen. First golden was Leeroy literally a day after they announced the nerf.
On EU - first golden and legendary was... golden Hemet Nesingwary
"I hate Hearthstone. This game is a joke. Let's go play a real game." - Xixo on me beating him with his own face hunter list
On EU/First overall: Baron Geddon
On NA: Ragnaros the Firelord
Jarraxus. Then Velen. Then Nat Pagle.
I have only dusted two legendaries, Nat Pagle and Millhouse Manastorm. Don't regret either.

Captain Greenskin followed byTinkmaster Overspark both DE´d for Ragnaros the Firelord.

Malygos
I have opened hundreds of packs and haven't seen a single golden legendary XD, only 1 golden epic
Time's up, let's do this!!! Leeroy Jenkins Then I DE'd him when he got nerfed LOL

here you can see my face... palm :)
Started in GVG, so can't say much. But I did open Bolvar Fordragon first... not too exciting.
Then I opened Tirion Fordring! I was hyped for days. Control paladin is still my strongest deck by far.
Third legendary was Sneed's Old Shredder. I have tons of fun with that guy. :D
Put your faith in the light!
Leeroy Jenkins
& my first golden legendary was The Beast ,used it for near 2 months then I DE'd it to craft Malygos
Nozdormu, I even built a deck around him.
1st legendary ever: Golden Mukla
DE'd it to make Cairne Bloodhoof lolz
Baron Geddon, Followed by Onyxia. I would use them in all my decks, which were poorly made aggro decks at the time. Awesome synergy with Zoo!

My First Good legendary was Cairne Bloodhoof...Then i got Leeroy Jenkins, King Mukla, King Krush, Ysera , Gruul and finally, Dr. Boom in my first free GvG pack :)
Also this was the week when my F2P ass finally crafted a legendary, Al'Akir the Windlord ..Best Decision for my shaman main :)
Sylvanas Windrunner Did not think she was that good at the time (why would i play a 5/5 for 6 when i could a 6/7 for 6)
how wrong i was
First golden Was Ysera
disenchanted it since i had the non gold version regret it
Then got a golden a Al'Akir the Windlord again disenchanted since i had normal version
Then golden Neptulon disenchanted sine had normal version and my murloc deck is warlock
Finally the only golden legendary i kept so far and disenchanted the normal version is Mal'Ganis
