I suspect that Grommash Hellscream is as good as he ever was - the problem is that Control Warrior has been nerfed a great deal over the past year, and simply isn't too viable. The CW lists which tend to be competitive are playing a fatigue-the-opponent game plan which doesn't win with a single-turn burst from GH, because those lists aren't really capable of doing 15+ points of chip damage prior to GH..
Tirion Fordring, likewise, is still a great card, and he saw considerable play during Un'Goro, when Curator Paladin lists were among the top decks on ladder. During Frozen Throne, however, Aggro Paladin lists simply began performing better than slower, value-oriented MR builds, and TF has been squeezed out of the meta as a result. If Call to Arms is nerfed, slower Paladin builds would likely begin seeing more play.
All the classic class legendaries are fading away. It won't be long before Van Cleef disappears too. 3 mana 8/8 "do nothing" not enough as a track on to turn 6 or 7.

Tirion is always good, just almost every deck run two slience now, and Control Paladin is useless compare to faster paladin archtype.
As for Grommash, is a finisher type of card, which mean it is not the right play if you drop him on curve like Tirion. Back in the days, he has support from other big guys in a Control Warrior deck like Dr.Boom, Ragnaros and Alex play before him, so when you finally drop the guy he was unstopable, not now which only the Lichking as other big threat.

Your first mistake was adding Malchezaar into a deck.
