Yes, I'm afraid it's true. This is yet another "Which legendaries should I craft next?" thread. So stick with me for a bit as I'll try to make this read interesting for you.
I'm currently sitting on sufficient dust to craft 4 legendaries. I'm really unsure of which ones to craft next, and the standard advice isn't really helping me much. I've added a poll of which legendaries I'm thinking of crafting. Please try to vote after reading what I'm looking for and what I'm not looking for.
What I'm looking for: Legendaries I can, ideally, use in multiple decks (can be of same class) and that are somewhat fun to play regardless of the current meta.
What I'm not looking for: Legendaries that can only be played in one deck in the current meta, such as Twin Emperor Vek'lor. I don't really play C'thun so don't see much use in crafting him.
I enjoy playing Mage, Priest, and Warrior the most. Other classes are OK for me, but I do play Rogue the least of them all. Though the decks I do not like to play at all are zoo and murlocadin.
Imo, you should craft alextrasza, rag, ysera and nzoth, because they can be used in many decks. Alextrasza can be used in freeze mage because you have thalnos and archmage. So that could be a deck to play then if you have the other key cards.
rofl888 makes some good recommendations. A point for Alexstrasza: not only is it used in freeze mage, it's often used in Renolock as well. It can both serve as a heal and to set up the combo finish with Leeroy/Faceless/PO. I've actually seen a dragon variant of Renolock with Alex and Ysera that was quite solid (and it also employed the previously mentioned combo so as not to make Alex a one-trick pony).
Rag is a great card for control and midrange decks; he essentially has charge without taking direct damage as long as you're fine with the RNG (which can usually be mitigated by playing well to set up his turn).
Ysera is also a solid finisher, if a bit slow. If she sticks around for more than one turn the game should be yours. She's really only seen in dragon decks for the time being as far as I've seen, but some control warriors are bringing her back too.
As for N'Zoth, that's a tough call without Cairne. A lot of people are running Chillmaw in their N'Zoth decks too without any dragon activators or with only Azure Drakes. Personally not a fan of that, but it's the fad atm (I'd make an argument for Abomination in most decks). Unless you want to replace other recommendations with Cairne and Tirion as craft targets (thereby forcing you to play priest and paladin variants of N'Zoth), it may be worth holding off on this guy. Maybe Fandral if you're interested in J4ckieChan's token druid, or basically any other druid variant?

Since you enjoy mage, priest, and warrior I feel this makes Ysera and Alex a no-brainer.
Ysera - staple in priest and warrior control decks.
Alex - staple in freeze mage and commonly used in various control decks (esp warrior)
After those 2 I feel your decision gets tougher and depends on what you want to play. There are a few must-have class legendaries that you need if you want to play the class at a competitive level. You have mage, rogue, and warrior covered but you don't like rogue. If you are considering renolock, c'thun lock, then you need Jaraxx. If you want to dabble w/ pally you need Tirion. The only classes without must-craft class legendaries are druid, hunter, shammy, and priest. After Ysera and Alex, I'll give you a class by class breakdown what to craft.
Druid - Rag for ramp/control (since you don't like C'thun, which I would recommend twin emps)
Hunter - none, just craft blues/purples so you have 2xhighmane, 2xCall of the wild (best standard 8 drop)
Mage - Alex and you can play freeze!
Pally - Tirion mandatory if you want to play this class
Priest - Ysera for dragon/control; N'zoth since you have sylvannas
Rogue - you don't play it
Sham - none required, just craft doomhammer and fill with blues/whites for midrange
Warlock - Jaraxx required to play reno
Warrior - Alex, ysera fit well with control, Rag with tempo/control
My final suggestion: ysera, alex, Rag, then whatever mandatory class legendary (Jaraxx for lock or Tirion for pal)
There is no best neutral legendary (at the lategame) that is as versatile as Ragnaros the Firelord (Sylvanas Windrunner is midgame.) he fits pretty much any control deck and any class except for the aggro garbage, he's even fit in midrange decks. My advice would be to craft in this order: Classic Neutral Legendaries (first Ragnaros, then Sylvanas, then whatever you may need (Alexstrasza and stuff like this.), if you're trying hardcore control decks Ysera is your best pick after Sylvanas. I don't advice on playing or crafting Cairne Bloodhoof at all, he sees play in this meta but there's more useful cards out there.) > Class-Specific Classic Legendaries (Tirion Fordring, Archmage Antonidas, Lord Jaraxxus [optional], Grommash Hellscream [optional].) I'm assuming you own Sylvanas Windrunner because if you don't well then she must be the first priority. Also I think it's better to craft Classic Legendaries first because they won't ever rotate out of the meta, which means more value on your dust. N'Zoth, the Corruptor is good only if you have the cards to make him work, so if you don't have many deathrattle minions or don't plan on making a whole deckslot for him, don't even consider on crafting him, yeah he's really outstanding on the value he can give you overall but he's not as versatile as classic legendary minions like Sylvanas Windrunner, Ragnaros the Firelord, Ysera, Alexstrasza, etc. He'll do insanely good in Paladin, but any other classes trying to include him will just fall when facing a N'zoth Paladin.

What I currently have: Bloodmage Thalnos, Sylvanas Windrunner, Archmage Antonidas, Cenarius, the LoE and Blackrock collection, Grommash Hellscream, Edwin VanCleef.
Where I'm planning on using them: Standard format, both casual and ranked.
Thanks in advance for your time reading and thinking!
Which classes do you want to play? Certain classes require their class legendaries to be effective
