I don't think Krush will ever be a good card. In aggro decks, you already have leeroy, which together with hero power, which you can't use along with Krush does 8 damage for 7 mana. Midrange hunter decks are also still quite low curve themselves, and if they're not running one of the best late game cards in the whole game(call of the wild), I don't think Krush will ever get much of a chance.
The only remaining use for the card would be in slower control hunter decks. It would essentially serve as a board control/value tool that can be used as the occasional finisher in those(similar to Grommash in control warrior builds after they stopped running alextrasza). The problem with doing that is that:
-It is very, VERY unlikely that control hunter will even be a good deck any time soon, if ever.
-Even if it is, you have way better neutral cards to serve a similar role.
Therefore, I would say Krush is essentially a free 400 dust. You will be basically risking an odds of 0.1% of wasting 1200 dust, which I would say yields a pretty good EV.
I'd never dust it. It's a golden version of a card that will (most likely) stay in Standard forever. If you're f2p and urgently need the 1600 dust, that's another story. Still I wouldn't recommend it.
Ok, I've just noticed that you said "golden King Krush". In that case, the answer would be "Yes, dust it" for any golden card you will ever get. People who tell you not to are undoubtely the same people that say HS is impossible to play in F2P mode.
I am not F2P, my standard collection is very good, i'm missing a couple card but the main use of my dust now is for my wild collection, if this card will sit in my collection even though it is a golden classic card i will desenchant it. Im not that much use to wild so that why i asked if its viable.
i'd say dusting a golden legendary from the classic pack is good, you might end up pulling them later anyways because you'll aghve a constant influx of classic packs from tb and quests
I play Jurassic Park hunter with Kathrena Winterwisp, king Krush, and charging devilsaur x2. While the deck especially vulnerable to bad card draw, its super fun and great against some of the strongest decks of the previous meta.

I wouldn't, but not because it's viable. There are a few iterations of tier 3 decks that run King Crush. Think about the big hunters that were prominent in the early stage of this expansion. They have a 40% winrate against cubelock and aggro paladin but are even and sometimes even positive against the rest. The biggest downside is that's it quite a hard deck to master.
I still think there’s a chance they rework charge in next rotation and if that happens I think you’d get a full dust refund. So I’d wait to see if something happens there at minimum.
If it was regular king krush I would say keep. Maybe try out the katernia hunter a bit, however, as a golden I always think of golden cards as "free pick of a legendary" and dust accordingly.
Back when Midrange Hunter was high on the tier list, King Krush won me a LOT of games (even though he wasn't on the most popular lists for that deck). It's not a bad card at all.
The Leeroy Jenkins argument is weak because Leeroy can't kill a big minion and survive, plus it has those pesky hatchlings. You can use KK as removal, as extreme pressure, or as lethal, plus there is the Beast tag, which became even more relevant with the release of K+C.

But I did address that. The thing is, if you're using Krush as a board control tool, you have way better options to choose from. Right now, I would 100% pick COTW before I would even consider running krush, and cotw isn't even a card that sees any play in the deck. Then you have things like bonemare(which used to come RIGHT AFTER THE HIGHMANE TURN) which still didn't see play.
tl;dr Yes, krush does have games when he would be a useful card to have. The thing is, he is probably around no 20 on the long list of cards you would consider running in the deck, but simply don't make the cut over more important stuff.
With the brawl free pack i just opened a Golden King Krush, this card is interesting but i never saw him be played by any hunter deck.
Is that card viable in wild?, because in standard katherina hunter deck is just not good....
Or is that card just pure dust?

I've King Krush and you can do greaters combos with Kathrena Winterwisp.
Look this deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/999870-kathrena-winterwisps-hunter
Ofcourse, this is an example, you can do another better deck.
King Krush is NOT a dust, but its very complicated learn to use or build a deck to have a great use
As mentioned, big dino hunter is a semi-viable deck. If that deck is every really good, Krush will be good.
I wouldn't, but not because it's viable. There are a few iterations of tier 3 decks that run King Crush. Think about the big hunters that were prominent in the early stage of this expansion. They have a 40% winrate against cubelock and aggro paladin but are even and sometimes even positive against the rest. The biggest downside is that's it quite a hard deck to master.
That being said: It's my fav deck.

Look this CubeDino Hunter.

Wow thx guys for all these answer, that is my 2nd post on hearthpwn and i though i would get an answer or too haha
But i touched the sensible cord Dinosaur !!
I will surely look at all you deck you sent me because i really want to make that card work

Disenchant when u really need that 400 dust, otherwise in the future you will cry for every single legendary you discarded
its awesome in big hunter
@iFaisal11
It's a golden copy that why i ask, if it was only for 400 dust i would not ask and keep it.
