I could have had leeroy, 5x cold blood, wolfrider, bluegill, deckhand, arcane golem, faceless, 1 evis, 1 sinister, 1 assassin blade, 1 deadly poison, shiv, auctioneer, blade flurry, 1 prep, raid leader. I dont remember the rest but you get the jist. 6 wins, 5 wins, then 1 win on my arenas this week. Sigh
Good aggro decks can be a thing in arena. They are unexpected, people won't usually have the answers, and you will smash all the people that drafted slower "value" decks. It is like a sort of counter-meta to the traditional value drafting style. So if your draft is going on an aggressive direction, you should totally push on being aggressive. A good aggro deck will fair better than a mediocre "value" deck.
You should've gone for it. Actually, today I also drafted a kinda aggro rogue deck with 2x coldblood, 1x sinister strike, 1x eviscerate, 2x defias ringleader, assassins blade and so on. The run went 9-3 (way better than I expected).
Like the others already said, people tend to draft slow "value" decks, so if you go for a good aggro deck, you basically overwhelm them before turn 7-8 and they can't catch up anymore. That's why there are sometimes "zoolocks" around the 9-11 arenawin bracket.

I think Rogue is kinda difficult because you can't exactly start drafting Arcane Golems, Cold Bloods and Shadowsteps in the first few picks. And most of the time you'd likely be offered 1 Sprint so it does make sense to draft some 5-6 mana cost minions to go the distance.
I liked your observation about Zoolocks. Just the other day I was playing Control Mage in arena and I had somebody throw out 3 Dread Infernals, 2 of which were via Voidcallers so I Flamestriked and was left with a Dread Infernal on the Board. He finished me with a Doomguard. Just amazing how he managed to get that draft, and that was maybe only half the deck.

Reminds me of an arena run of Trump's I watched recently in which he drafted 6 dread infernals, 3 voidcallers, and 1-2 doomguards.
man it remember me to the ultra aggro warrior deck i drafted once for the lolz and then finished 12-1 with triple arcan golem. 3 arcanites reapers, a gorwhole and a lot of charge minions!

If you get the chance to draft a good aggro deck, go for it. With good play, it will dominate most value decks you face.
