Cabal is not in the deck for anti-2 attack minions, it is there for the huge value. If you don't have the second something solid like Sen'jin or Loatheb would be a decent replacement, but feel free to try out Kodo first.
I haven't seen much value out of Al'Akir in the games I've played. Doomhammer + Rockbiter is a much more reliable finisher than holding onto a clunky 8 drop. I don't know what I'd replace him with though, maybe Rag?

playing shaman without naxx is pretty difficult, shaman relies a lot on chow and creeper for early game, sludge and loatheb are strong 5 drops
