A few things: I think you are underestimating DHs slower game. They have the early and midgame tools to carry them to late game. Early aggression? They can handle that. Midgame aggression? Easy peasy. Late game threats and swing turns? Yes. It's hard to evaluate the power level of it, but DH's late game tools will come to play - like the Priest of Fury.
I think you are highly overestimating Requiary of Souls. I agree it's a solid card and the prime is pretty stronge - and things can get ugly if the Prime manages to survive a turn. However, Priest can't draw cards - like at all. Therefore they are depending on drawing the 1-drop early and drawing the prime pretty on curve or at least by t10. Priest decks will run out of fule pretty easily - especially the zoo-style deck that Blizzard gave them after the re-work. Aggressive decks without card draw? They don't tend to make it. We have already played with cards that shuffle into your deck, e.g. both versions of Elise, and the shuffled card will often end in the bottom 10 cards of the deck. Meaning the prime will often not be there to save you against aggro decks. I believe the card is very strong in wild but in standard it's a 2 out of 4 for me - because it will be unreliable for Priest.

Great review. Don't agree with everything.
