Yes, it's slow and powerful - something spell Hunter is missing excluding Rhok'delar
Hell, even if you play this on t5 or t6 it is still a very good card if you get 3-drops.
What?! Why should you play it on turn 5 or 6? It's awful compared to To My Side! and you get a similar outcome roughly 10% of the time
Yes, you can potentially summon 7 snowflipper penguins and that would suck but you might as well summon a board of solid and strong 3 drops. A high roll on t10 would summon 21 mana worth of creatures.
...that all die to ANY decent board clear. Did you look at the table? 50% of the time you don't get a 3 drop. When you get it, 60% of the time it's understatted. Come on...
Yes, if the your opponent has a board clear. If not... congrats, you might just have won the board and the game. And you can play two of them + more depending on your RNG with the hunter weapon.
We can discuss rarity as long as you want - maybe it should be a Legendary spell, yes. But the board clear argument could be applied to every card that summon minions.
The card is a win condition that does not require any setup. And even if you only summon three 3-drops and four 1-drops it's still 13 mana worth of creatures that might syngerize.
You can't just make a OP card and defend it by saying: "you just need a good board clear". This card would also break arena as it's only a rare card.

Besides that most of the minions you mentioned need a setup (although it is a setup that will be fulfilled by carriying out a relatively simple gameplan), there is one major difference to and a big advantage over all these 10 mana cards: Flexibility. You do not have to wait for turn 10 to play it. It is playable starting from turn 6/7.

Well, the thing is that they are all legendary cards and you can mess with their game plan (except Onyxia): Polymorph, Hex, Kazakus potion (in wild), Tinkmaster, Mindcontrol and other cards that can steal their minions.
Perhaps if it was a legendary card. I'd definately play two of these in a spellhunter deck and if I got another one from Rhok'delar my opponent would have to deal with three full beast boards + wolves from the spellstone.

But stating that it should not be printed because "is a win condition that does not require any setup" is like ignoring we have cards like N'Zoth, the Corruptor, Hadronox, Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Onyxia, etc.
English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

Edit: But as I said, I think the card is okay
