To be honest it's a crazy card. For 4 mana you still get 4/5 total stats, so there's no value loss if you just get a 1/1.
Sometimes you'll just get a small effect. Say for example you get Sorceror's Apprentice, you get a lot of value.
But then there is times you'll draw something crazy. Malygos, Tirion, Antonidas, Ragnaros.
The best part of the card in my opinion is how it will change the meta. Aggro shaman and zoo get no value out of Barnes, but decks that don't just vomit out minions will be buffed a bit. For an example, Malygos decks and N'zoth decks.
So I don't think it will be used in EVERY deck like Dr. Boom, but I think a lot of people will find a way for Barnes to fit in their deck.
the new dr 7 will always be a huge claim, but I completely agree on your points about bringing more viability to control decks. Heck, even an 1/1 taunt is amazing. Imagine drawing Chillmaw from it.

Amazing value in N'Zoth decks.

For sure. Getting basically any deathrattle effect besides Huge Toad's and Fiery Bat will be really good.
