Definitely not there are few good priest decks like silence priest that are fairly balanced and still overall pretty good.
I've only faced three druids in ~100 matches so far, one egg and two quest. I've yet to see Barnabus played. Blizzard completely screwed Druid this rotation. Their quest is so much worse than rogue in every way (worse rewards much later at a higher cost)
Elemental Priest and Deathrattle Priest are both doing fine in standard for various reasons. EP is actually super fun as well, and surprisingly strong.
Priest is fine, and I have fun playing it, more than any other time, especially the quest, its not easy to accomplish always, but good.
In wild, its crazy, so far, I am sitting at little over 70% winrate, in 40+ games. In standard, well its fun, and not extraordinarily good or bad against anything, thats why it doesn't draw much attention. Also because quest rogue is disadvantageous, and it sees so much play.
I'm working on a decklist for quest, I've had awesome games against other priests, espically some elemental priest lists, and other quets. I did not do particularly well, but it was whole lot of fun.
Here's a comparison of what I've experienced in my last 100 games rank 1-5 compared to the last pre-Ungoro meta snapshot
Me Now:
Warrior: 22%
Hunter: 20%
Rogue: 16%
Priest: 12%
Shaman: 12%
Warlock: 6%
Mage: 5%
Druid: 4%
Paladin: 3%
Pre-Ungoro:
Warrior: 27%
Shaman: 19%
Druid: 13%
Priest: 12%
Warlock: 12%
Rogue: 11%
Mage: 4%
Paladin: 2%
Hunter: 1%
Things are a little better in that the top class is not as dominant, but also a little worse in that there are now four noncompetitive classes instead of just 3.
I think that every class is viable right now, but certain classes are more popular.
No. Just no. I have tried so far OTK Priest,Elemental Priet and even mine Dragon Standart Priest. All these decks are doing pretty good. I dont know what you are talking about.

Just because it isn't the flavor of the week doesn't mean it's not viable.

Silence Priest has taken me from Rank 17 to 8 and its still going strong. So no, priest is not dead...

Quit complaining and just have fun with this game!
Priest was never dead - only a pleb would say something like that.
Priest is definitely not dead, it is waiting for the meta to figure itself and then arise. The class has a lot of potential variants with this expansion: Silence, Spell Control, Midrange with Dragon/Elemental deck, and people are testing for the best built right now. Also, Priest decks take longer time to refine because traditionally, Priest has to adapt to the meta whether it is slower or faster.
Priest will not be bad, it is a tricky class to play unless it is provided another curved dragon deck. It won't remain in the most popular classes.
IMO, Mage/Rogue/Hunter/Warriors will be the top dogs of the meta, while Druid/Priest/Paladin/Warlock/Shaman keep them in check here and there. It doesn't seem that we have any terribly unplayable class with this expansion, which is a great sign.
Wondering what your rank is to claim that priest is good? I am currently rank 9 and have a hard time climbing against other decks When the opponent knows what deck you are using it's extremely easy for them to counter Priest. On the other hand Priest cant do anything without the combo cards in hand.

Priest is so dead that I just cruised from rank 3 to legend with it in like 2 hours. Bad players always come up with excuses to make themselves feel better about playing toxic decks.

"Dead again" ? what are you talking about? priest wasnt dead the last season? actually was tier 1. I really dont know why people always whine bout priest being an underpowered class. You are missing the facts here son
With regards to OP, the reason you don't see Priest is because the class isn't very straightforward to play. Because your minions are so defensively statlined, being able to squeeze every single point of damage takes a bit more thought than just playing minions on curve, unlike the Dragon Priest variants of meta past.
With the exception of Rogue, Mage, and Quest Warrior, Priest actually has quite even matchups across the board if the matchup is played right. The prevalence of 1-health minions in Hunter and in other aggressive decks have allowed Northshire Cleric to rise out of obscurity into a pseudo-threat. While you will experience games where aggro Druid overwhelms you on board, or you get nut-drawn by Pirate Warrior, but those will happen with almost every other class.
