I'm a little bit confused on this one. From what I know, control warrior relies on getting into fatigue and use golden monkey to win the game, so shouldn't they try to use as few draws as possible? Harrison does destroy weapons but it would usually lead into cw going into fatigue first
Just want an explanation, I love dragon and control decks, and now I'm trying to decide between Chillmaw and Harrison Jones. (I don't care about TGT rotating out next year)
Harrison is a tech card. Sometimes control warrior runs it, sometimes they don't. The meta has a good amount of weapons in it right now.
Control warrior doesn't RELY on getting to fatigue and winning through golden monkey. That is one way they can win in the control matchup. When you are against a deck that is fast or midrange they still need to make some tempo plays and blow up the opponent's resources. Harrison is a great way to do this.
On top of that, you really want to draw a lot if you aren't against control, since you need to find your good answers deep in your deck (like brawl).

But since most of cw's cards are reactive, wouldn't it often cause you to overdraw since you had so many cards in hand?

Maybe in the case of doomhammer but most shamans aren't running that these days. The other weapons won't overdraw too much. Killing a 1 durability weapon is worth running harrison.

Why not ooze then? if my purpose is just to destroy the weapon, it's a lot cheaper

For the most part you won't be overdrawing anyhow, so the benefit is actually really good. Card advantage with control is amazing.
You have to consider the matchup. If I was playing against aggro as control warrior I would need to play a lot of cards re-actively, not just 1 brawl. I might have to do shield block into shield slam, slam into execute, a combination of stuff to take down a board or stabilize.
Control warrior will also prefer getting a body on the board later with more impact since they armor up the first few turns. They can totally run ooze though.
Card draw and card advantage gives you an edge specially vs aggressive decks. If all you are playing is Shaman then teching Harrison Jones against them is a great choice. You will most likely have answers to their threats until they are out of resources.
Vs. Control it depends but usually you don't want the card draw so you could play him as a threat on an empty board or turn him into another legendary through golden Monkey. However there are instances where you have to play aggressive and reach fatigue faster. For example if your opponent plays Justicar before you. Even if you reach fatigue around the same time your opponent will probably win due to armor so you have to take risks and play faster.

Because some card draw is good in all matchups except control matchups (and even in control if you are playing the aggressor). Also, a 5/4 body is better than a 3/2.

Unfortunately, CW has to tech in Harrison Jones nowadays because the meta is filled with Warrior/Hunter/Shaman.
