Youthful Brewmaster wants to target Kazakus, Stonehill Defender, Elise the Trailblazer, or Curious Glimmerroot, but could be used later in the game to act as a full heal on a minion after a trade (as well as an easy way to feed a bonus card play for Shadowreaper Anduin).
I'm on the fence about Spirit Lash and Prophet Velen. Velen can be a very powerful closer after you've played Raza the Chained and Shadowreaper Anduin, but he is very slow. Similarly, Spirit Lash can be very useful, but without spell damage to improve it, it can be too little to matter.
I've played a bit with the Archbishop Benedictus/Hemet, Jungle Hunter combo version of this deck. It's not a totally natural fit - obviously you can't play Benedictus before Raza, and replacing your low cost cards with your opponent's deck may mean you get fewer usages of the Voidform hero power. That said, I think Archbishop Benedictus can serve to protect you from some of the major mill-style effects you can get from the Death Knight cards (namely Doom Pact and Army of the Dead, both of which can easily take five or more cards off the top of your deck). So far I haven't had any major issues dealing with fatigue, and haven't noticed that the combo is all that helpful in most games, so he remains absent.
Don't want to sound mean, but this deck is somewhat a little greedy to me. I'm currently looking for some really good higlander priest in current meta, and what I tend to find is that since you are not guarantee to have a copy of a card you need in some specific situation since you're running only one of each... you have to be more careful when building your deck.
I think you have a lot of really specific cards that counter some kind of deck, but still we don't even know how the meta is going to be. You've too much tools for different things, you'll just end up not drawing then when needed. I think the best highlander priest in next meta will be some with mutiple value cards more than just a lot of anti aggro and healing. I would try to take out Thalnos, Shadow Essence, Mass dispel and Eternal Servitude since they rely so much on "combos" to be awesome and valuable.
Anyways I'm looking forward to improvements in this deck in the next weeks :D
