I am not sure about how it works so I am asking your advice. I have all the legendary cards from AoO, 2 of them golden. What happens if I disenchant Hanar, which has been nerfed recently, and then open packs until I found my next legendary? Will I find Hanar and therefore saving 1600 dust, or will I find one of the golden legendaries (or they have equal probability)? I have no idea how the duplicate system works in this case. Thanks in advance.
You get a random legendary since you already had Hanar and every other legendary due to the way the no dupe protection works. Once you own a card, even if you disenchant it you won't get it again (except randomly if you have every other legendary).
So you get a random legendary, which could be Hanar but is equally likely to be any other legendary.
When you open a pack, all the cards are counted as being collected by you. A collected card cannot be gained from packs, unless you already own all of the cards of that same rarity, then it's random.
This means that if you own all rare cards of a set, then the next pack will offer you a random rare card. If you dust a rare card, then the next pack will still offer a random rare card. same for all other rarities
It is still confusing because on the Ashes of Outland video the dev explicitly said that you could DE a legendary you didnt want because you wouldn't open it again until owning all the other legendaries, meaning you could stop holding crappy cards in fear of opening them again.
Of course, this would open an abuse trick on refunds, but then they said collected cards, DE'd or not, count as collected.
Another thesis was that the system is different for legendaries, since they take too much effort to get and if you want to farm a specific one, you'll have to spend a lot of money anyway, which Blizzard probably wouldn't care if you did. But no one really knows for sure.
So far, the common answer is like the other rarities: if you opened it, it counts as collected, disenchanted or not, so you'll get a duplicate one.

I think you will get Hanar.
Your thesis says, that you would get golden legendarys only, once you have all legendarys from the expansion, which is not true.
Not 100% sure though, just my opinion.

You won't get Hanar, they updated the system.
