Honestly I've always found mountain giant to be a little unreliable, I tried to use it multiple times, but It always seems like a fail card.
A guaranteed 8/8 on 6 seems to work better since you're just going to faceless+taunt them up anyway the being frozen isn't such a big deal, and of course there's also possibility of using them to swing with Blazecaller the following turn.
Well I've been using him in my elemental handlock list along with Mountain Giant. Giant is still better overall and Crusher is another 8/8 that can be taunted, shamblered or shadowflamed. The bad thing about it, it has no immediate impact just like giant, so its not that good against aggro, but is a huge threat against control, plus Blazecaller next turn is huge tempo, pressure. But against aggro you have lots of great elementals early in the game to stop the aggression.
