Hi, I'm the one you are quoting. People saying that aggro decks counter priest are just probably playing under rank 10 vs incomplete priest doing big mistakes.
Priest is the new druid, only Tempo mage can do something (thx to 4 to 6 secrets, a few 4 attack cards like Kirin tor and Burgly bully, and direct finish damage not needing minions), but not much.
One other thing which counter priest is the expansiveness of the good priest decks (from 12000 to 14000 dust), and their late dominance in this extension, which mean people may have already spent their dust on druid/paladin decks, so there may not been as many priests as they were druids.
Here are the stats of the Razakus deck with Velen above rank 10 (note that these stats are over last 3 days, so there is 1 day pre-patch druid included) :
