Well, actually, not better, since 2/2 is kind of a lowroll for Piloted Shredder (the average result is 2/3 or 3/2). And this card does not have mech synergy.
Except you can actually predict the outcome(which by itself doesn't mean it's better, but it makes it a less volatile card at least) and a 5/2 is arguably better than a 4/3 in most cases, as there are way more 3 damage removal spells in the game, and it can trade into more stuff.
All of this is irrelevant though, as this card, in its actual state, is just crap. It would be a pretty bonkers card if the deathrattle triggered all the time though.
Everyone is complaining that this is bad but think about it, would you actually even WANT this card to be good? Playing against Piloted Shredder every game was a fucking nightmare and they knew it. That's why they were so careful with this card. Regardless, I think its still alright and you'll be fine with it in Arena.
Only useful in aggro, and you have to go face with it or it's just bad. Problem is that a 5/2 + a 2/2 for 4 isn't even that good unless you have board control already, and Paladin still has weaker early game than a lot of other classes.
THis is great card for midrange-pala. For now 4 mana slot is empty for him. Yes, now we have Corpsetaker but it is actually great antiaggro tool and not a threat. And also Corpsetaker is situational and sometimes can not provide all that value (I doubt paladins will be running lifesteal minions except Burnbristle).
So Arrogant Crusader is a great curve play after Burnbristle or Stonehill and it is sticky for further buffing. 7/10 card overall.
This card is not terrible, but not constructed playable. It's decent in arena.
Justicar Trueheart in Rogue?

even if this was a battle cry it's not that good and would only be good in arena.
Carpe Diem - Seize the day
Please, stop the 4 drops for the paladin.
My magic will tear you apart!
