By the time it is your opponent's turn, it is at least an 8/8 for 8 mana. A silence would leave it at a 7/7 which just burned a silence from your opponent.
When it is your turn again, it is a 9/9.
Making it a 5 mana 4/4 almost will put it into 2 categories. One that it will be silenced and it will be a weak, overpriced minion at that. Will it be more useable? Probably because it can be combo'd a little better which leads to the second category: It becomes a shade of naxxarams that is far too strong and cannot be killed, especially if you are a rogue and you put stealth on it. So it will be too good.
Put another way, Gruul on turn 5 at 4/4 will be 10/10 by turn 8 when you could normally play it.
I disagree, he will put ALLOT of presure on the opponent, and if he doesn't have the exact right card to deal with it right away, you got. 6/6 minion the next turn. Usually people save the dealing with big minions cards to the late match, because that's usually when they're summoned, this gives a huse bonus, and would make Gruul much more playable.

I take your words as supporting to my suggestion, due to the very fact that as of now, it is almost 0% played in decks.
edit: and what's the difference betwin a 7/7 8 mana and a 4/4 5 mana, dust wise? No difference, onlydifference ks that it will be comboed better.
It would make it much more playable and it makes much more sense for a card like that to exist, than. 7/7 8 mana minion.
