Before Hearthstone, Hunters were already used to being called 'huntards'. In WoW, Hunters are always criticized as being a class that noobs play, because the skillcap is low and can produce a lot of DPS. Consequentially, a lot of 'bad' players can compete against more skilled players, leading Hunters to always being the butt end of jokes like this.
This leads me to believe that Blizzard created Hunters and shaped them specifically to fit the same role in Hearthstone. It's an interesting idea, and I can't think of a reason why they would do this other than to create controversy.
I think that they just made Hunter have the Hearthstone equivalent of DPS, so it ends up filling the same role. Obviously they like the way it is, because Skill Shot is definitely a Hunter buff. Not that I have anything against Hunter.
Well, I mean I disagree that Hunters are broken at all and I would say that this says a lot more about both the WoW and Hearthstone communities than it does anything about the classes, but I suppose I see your point.

Have a great deck that's really, really cheap? Help the new players out

Nothing doing, traveler.
There are already plenty of threads whining about Hunters. Discuss in one of those.
