The comparison is due to the same mana cost and same cards used to activate the ability. One could argue that Deathwing, Dragonlord has better value from having an extra +8/6 worth of stats for 2 more mana. What other card are you going to take out to put this one in? Grommash Hellscream is a more reliable win condition.
And to Xanius, Gromm gets the value because he won the game by hitting the opponent in the face for 10-12 damage. I know you were referring to card advantage but you have to invest cards to use Rotface for uncertain value. How do you make it to turn 8+ against pirates holding these cards in your hand? How do you beat jade if let's say on average you get a 5/5 minion with a battlecry you got no value from when at this point they are summoning 7/7+ jades?
P.S.
For those who misunderstood, I'm not advocating trying to put Deathwing, Dragonlord in a control warrior deck. I'm just pointing out how people though that he was so godly and was going to be in every deck. As it turned out, he ended being in no ones deck. While Rotface is probably a better card, I think people are grossly overestimating how good he's going to turn out and that he's not some secret weapon that's going to put control warrior over the top.

Why would you play Rotface over Grommash Hellscream?
This is reminding me of when people though Deathwing, Dragonlord would be OP.
