Competitive decks will never rely on RNG, it's why a great card like Ragnaros doesn't get played as often as it could. 2x Forbidden Shaping and 2x Resurrect aren't viable options. Holy Smite needs to be at least a Worgen Infiltrator. That way you are getting 2, maybe 4 damage out of it, plus hitting a minion for 2 when they kill it. Holy Smite, while great at killing a Knife Juggler, is only getting you 2 damage every time and leaving you with nothing on board.
You're also lacking a silence here, so Leeroy Jenkins is most likely crashing into some form of Sludge Belcher. With 2x Mind Blast you're going to want Prophet Velen and at that point you may as well start raising that curve a bit. Also 2x Abusive Sergeant is going to leave you with him as your 1 drop a lot of the time - not ideal. I'd change one up for Shadowbomber.
I guess the point is that aggro priest is not viable now, and the only thing I see different here from priest aggro decks that have tried and failed to be anything other than Tier 3 decks is Forbidden Shaping and Herald Voljaz. And do we really think those 3 cards help aggro priest get there? I'll let you ponder that.
