So based on the super salty game I just played... I'm guessing that Blood Knight's battlecry resolves before it is technically summoned? Which is why the mage got a buffed 6/6 instead of the vanilla 3/3 Blood Knight?

correct. Battlecries go off before secrets do. Works for all minions. Faceless a deathwing and mirror will copy that. Drop an Injured blademaster and it'll copy the 4/3, not the pre-battlecry 4/7.
what's interesting is sword of justice will buff AFTER the mirror entity
Yup, because SoJ isn't a battlecry. It goes Battlecry, Secrets, present card effects.
It result in a very interesting case if you drop a silver hand knight while holding a 1 durability SoJ. You end up with a 4/4 and a 3/3 on your side. Reason battlecries happen first. Thus, despite what the visuals say, the Squire actually touches the ground FIRST as a summon BEFORE the Silver Hand Knight lands. SoJ triggers on summon so it buffs the squire first.
The less you think about what makes logical or visual sense and you focus 100% on the raw rules then HS mechanics make sense. it's when people pull other games or their own logic into it that things seem complex and odd.
