I got a few epics, and almost fell out of my seat when both a King Krush and a Deathwing popped out.
I never play Hunter, so I immediately disenchanted King Krush, but I figured I would hear some opinions before disenchanting Deathwing.
If I D/E Deathwing, that'll put me within a few hundred dust from another legendary. I've been wanting Illidan Stormrage for a long time, but if you can convince me otherwise I could craft something else.
Things I also have my eye on: Hogger (just because it's been one of my favorite cards forever), Bloodmage Thalnos (because I play Shaman most of the time and don't have one yet)

I just disenchanted my Deathwing, it was fun to play with, BUT ... I don't really like long games, I'd rather my games end quickly. Deathwing seems like a last resort card. I have never seen the Control Warrior deck to Turn 10, but with all those late legendaries that could be on the board, it could be useful for board clear. That's if you've even survived for that long.
I just see myself topdecking for a win after using that card so I disenchanted him. I like having legendaries, but if I could get something useful out of it, I'd rather have the dust for crafting.
Deathwing was infrequently used a couple of seasons ago in warrior control decks, but the meta sped up so much since then that it has become a dead card in most matches. The rise of miracle rogue this season has slowed the meta game down somewhat, but I am still not convinced that it's enough to warrant a slot for a card as late game as deathwing in most viable control decks.
Well Idk about DE'ing King Krush or Deathwing since I think there's a use for every card, and I just don't like being inefficient my dust.
But as to what to craft, I'd go with Ragnaros. Just happened to be the 2nd legendary I pulled and it's been such a clutch card over and over. It's a win condition just by itself and can be thrown into almost any deck.
If you mostly play Shaman, get Bloodmage Thalnos. It improves the [midrange] Shaman deck more than it has any right to - it looks unimpressive, but with it for a while and you'll get it. Neither Geomancer nor Loot Hoarder would really be playable in the deck, but the combination does so much that it is just plain awesome.
Deathwingcan be a solid card in some decks (Warrior plays it sometimes, Druid can), and it provides a uniquely powerful effect. There's nothing wrong with the card, it just hasn't found its place yet, at least amongst competitive players. I have a feeling that in a year it will be a menace - maybe even just after Naxx, asDeathwing + lots of Deathrattles in a control shell could be very powerful. That being said, if you want instant gratification, the card isn't quite "there" yet, and there are lots of other legendaries that are better suited to what is currently being played.
Illidan Stormrage andHogger are both traps (along with Lorewalker Cho and King Mukla). What I mean is that they both look very solid, but in the end don't really do anything. Cairne Bloodhoof is typically better than either. In fact, with Illidan, the obvious deck for it (Druid) has a [almost strictly] better class legendary inCenarius. Hogger isn't quite as bad - I'm still trying to find a place for him in a token Shaman build - but he doesn't really ever survive a turn.
I main Shaman (rank 7 NA, mainly because I spend a lot more time in Arena than Ranked), and the only legendaries I ever put in my deck are Thalnos (always), Cairne (sometimes), The Black Knight (usually, as a 3rd Fire Elemental), and Harrison Jones (when I'm getting pissed off at all the midrange rogues). Honestly, any of those (other than Thalnos) could easily be Argent Commanders or numerous other things - but I use them 'cause I got 'em. Oh, and Leeroy Jenkins when I'm in the mood to try out theWindfury build again, and Al'Akir and Rag in the control build, but neither do I play to nearly as much success as the midrange build...
If you love Shaman, prioritize Thalnos, because it will ALWAYS go in any Shaman deck due to synergies with the classes' most powerful cards. Other than that, I'd prioritize the "best" legendaries - Leeroy, Ragnaros, TBK, Cairne. They'll get you a lot further than going for the "fun ones". JUST IMHO, OF COURSE!
As a side note, I've been holding onto a Far Sight I unpacked for a little while. I've been reluctant to D/E it since I play mainly Shaman and don't wanna D/E any Shaman cards, but I hear most people think it's a terrible card and the 100 Dust would get me a lot closer to that new Legendary.

What do you guys think?
Far Sight is a trap, as well. It may be good in the future, with a wider card pool, but at the moment it doesn't actually doanything. It isn't even really a "cycle" (to use the MtG term) card like Flare - in Hunter, Flare is pretty much a tempo-neutral play, as nothing keeps you from playing it with a mana you weren't going to use anyway. Far Sight, by costing 3, doesn't have that luxury - it SEEMS like it would break even, but often you'll hit cards that cost less than 3 in the first place, making it a negative-mana (and negative-tempo) play.
I'd DE it, as I don't see it being playable in the near future. Maybe after the first [big] expansion, but not now. I DE'd mine the first time I got them, then picked 'em back up again later out of packs (arena). Never regretted it, and haven't used them since I got them again...
I know a lot of people that have struggled to find a use for far sight. The only kind of deck I can see it really working in is like a miracle shaman type deck. Almost using it like a preparation.
Hogger and Illidan is low tier legendaries, and are waste of dust. Deathwing imho is top/mid tier legendary, and can be used in any deep control decks, I am running now deathwing on my control worrior strugling at rank 6 and it is performing very well, since I lowered card draw to minimum. Hoping to get to legend to the next week end, and could say thanks to the deathwing. Bloodmage is also a top tier card, but it is not a win condition, I am thinking whether to craft it next or not( already aquired ragnaros, ysera, vancleef, TBK, deathwing, leeroy, craine, baron geddon). If you are playing shaman why not alaquir?
Al'Akir is only good in more controlling or "combo" (Rockbiter-dependant) builds of Shaman. Even there, he is a "luxury" card - in the former, Ragnaros, Ysera , or Sunwalker could act just as well (depending on what you need), and the latter needs more legendaries (Leeroy comes to mind). Bloodmage Thalnos goes in EVERY Shaman deck running Lightning Bolt and Lightning Storm...
I would recommend Cairne or Ragnaros as must have legendaries. They go into a lot of different decks. I would sugggest you post your decklist of your favourite deck, it would be easier to make suggestions then.

Replying because I have those two exact cards. Just got King Krush yesterday.

Not a Mage player.

I could see Hogger potentially having a place in a Rogue control deck - if I ever get one I might even try it out.
