I got 11 wins only once as well. But I only got a gold epic as the card prize I think haha. I can't really remember.
But, regarding your question about having more useful Legendaries, I definitely think you would do better. Leeroy alone increased my casual win rate by a ton.
I agree that only one Perdition's Blade is needed, and eggs aren't necessary. I prefer a second Blade Flurry over a Fan of Knives. I posted a similar thread a while ago, and everyone told me it's just better. I've come to prefer Sen'jin shieldmaster over Defender of Argus, because you know he has value no matter what. Defender of Argus might not always give full value. I also agree that a second Argent Commander is needed, and the Abusive Sergeant is not required. I do like the loot hoarders though. If you prefer to keep the defender of Argus, you could throw in Gnomish Inventors instead, but I think they're too much mana.
I think you might face a problem if you're up against a big scary druid. One sap is not enough to deal with all their big taunts. If you could fit in either a second sap, The Black Knight, Assassinate, or even Big Game Hunter, I think the deck would be much better. Just my thoughts =)
I think if there's a single class that Feugen and Stalagg fit in, it's a priest's deck. No matter what way you look at it, a 4/7 or 7/4 body is simply nothing to scoff at. People will blow silences on other minions with powerful buffs, then you get a "free" 11/11. Or, they'll leave your buffed minions behind and silence one of Feugen or Stalagg. And, if you really wanted to be cheeky, late game you could combo Stalagg with a SW:D or Big Game Hunter haha. I think I'll be trying it out for fun.
I've been playing half a year and you have almost as many legendaries as me haha. I love Leeroy so much, he does just win games, as Riosix said. You throw him in as a finisher in any aggro, midrange, or control deck (or even any stupid combo deck haha). I also love The Black Knight, but he is much more situational. Leeroy requires no situation.
I think Cult Master is too gimmicky, in my opinion. I prefer the definite benefit of the Gnomish Inventor and Loot Hoarder (unless he's silenced, which is unlikely in this new age of very powerful midrange cards that need to be silenced). And yeah, I used to use Fan of Knives, but I just prefer Blade Flurry completely. There's enough card draw between Loot Hoarder, Bloodmage Thalnos, and Sprint, if you choose to use that.
I've found that I have lots of trouble with freeze mages as a tempo rogue. I feel like holding on to Loatheb until the late turns will completely turn that around. Depending on mana curve, I might use the Ambushers too (instead of the Chillwind Yeti). My reasoning? Loatheb on whatever turn near the end. They place Alexstraza. Attack Alex with Ambusher, return Loatheb to me, then play him again. It's something to consider.
I feel like this is quite close to the priest deck I used a lot a week or two ago (NOT the priest deck I made on this website, that deck sucks haha =D). Since priest doesn't have the best control, I love to use The Black Knight. My reasoning is similar to yours: to counter those druids. In particular, he counters their 4/6 Druid taunt which is otherwise tough to deal with. I also use 2 SW:D's, again mainly to counter druids. I use two Holy Smites instead of Shadow Word Pain, just because I feel like it's generally more versatile. I will try giving this deck a run this evening though, I always want to make priest work haha.
Oh, so you're saying just run miracle rogue and win. We all know that, but we don't want to just conform haha. I feel like such a loser playing such a deck that's obviously top tier like that. I like to use 2 Blade Flurries, and just 1 Perdition's Blade. AoE always wins games haha, even if you use Deadly poison before it, it's kind of like a pseudo-Windfury, which is just awesome. Conceal isn't necessary vs zoo. Most of the time they're rushing your face anyways, so it's a wasted card.
Leeroy is mainly there as a very strong (and necessary, imo) finisher. In some cases, he works as a decent taunt removal too, particularly if you have Blade Flurry in your hand (or Fan of Knives, if you choose to run that instead). I think his strength is needed for one particular late game finishing combo (Leeroy + 2x Cold Blood + 2x Eviscerate).
Maybe I'll try it out hah. I'm not sure if you just went by the deck I linked in my sig, but I think I do actually have an Ironbeak Owl now in my deck. You need them, with all those eggs running around. I mainly like the Argent Squires as Cold Blood targets, though I understand your reasoning about them not packing enough punch. I used to toy with Worgen Infiltrators, maybe I could try them again? Even an Elven archer could help I think. It's always a work in progress! Haha.
Hmm...I found I only beat zoo if I get a perfect opening hand and decent draws afterwards hah. If I somehow don't get Backstab, Deadly Poison, or any early board control (via Argent Squire or Loot Hoarder), I just lose. On the other hand, I beat mana ramp druids no problem, mainly because I run an assassinate and The Black Knight. If I get all those cards you mentioned at the end there at the perfect time, then yeah, that's basically game. I believe I am the unluckiest Hearthstone player though, and I do not have the heart of the cards on my side haha.
I think you might be underrating the Nerub'ar Weblord a little bit. he slows down zoos (Abusive Sergeant, Flame Imp) and he's a great body against zoo as well. With Cold Blood, he cannot be ignored at all. I've been playing with him, and people seem to always try to kill him as soon as they can. Another reason it keeps tempo in your favor is, as a rogue, you play with Combos, which are essentially battlecries, but remain unaffected. I've toyed with using just 1 so far, and I like the results. Also, I prefer Defias Ringleader over Haunted Creeper, but that's just me. I used the Haunted Creeper for a while, but he's just too weak to do anything, even if he does stick around. Most of the time I barely know what I'm talking about I guess, so maybe you can disregard this haha.
This could be exciting if the group could take off. I'm from Saskatoon, so it's not so far of a drive. Especially since Calgary is one of the closest places with an NHL team haha =P. Even if we just got a facebook group started or something, maybe lots of people could end up joining. I have a couple friends from BC who created just a small League of Legends group, and now I think it has well over 1000 members.

I'm very stubborn about gold cards (even gold cards I'll never use). But if you're set on DE'ing your Onyxia, I would definitely recommend Leeroy.

Turn 10, Ooze + BoK + Faceless Manipulator + Coin ? That would be ridiculous, but obviously you can't live around that combo haha.
