I think I am quite an average player in Hearthstone, the highest I got was level 12 last season. This season I really wanted to go higher, I got to level 15 three days ago and since then my losing streak is terrible.
Skill doesn't matter that much lately really, unless you are really making terrible mistakes you should be around 50% which is enough to Rank 5 cos of streaks and even easier now cos of new rank floors. Mulligan and luck decide pretty much every game regardless of misplays. Even deck won't matter almost at all, up to like ~3% difference on average between 10 strongest decks or so. It's pretty much pure coin flip lately.
I am on losing streak also at Rank 13 now for couple of days (and was double Legend both Wild and Standard last season for example and even finished top 100 in Wild, and while it doesn't mean anything nowadays other than I played a lot - I doubt it's pure lack of skill that makes me lose so much now). Losing streaks are common and bound to happen from times to times as this nonsense is coin flip anyways. Like playing roulette on colors, you could try to double bet on a color but sometimes you get fucked by streak of say 10 times in row (or by bouncers kicking you out :).
Just keep going, try to perfect your deck and try to play the best you can, so you could add that couple of % over the coin flip that this game ultimately is, but be ready for some streaks like one that happened now and try not to tilt. Maybe make a break on such streaks for couple of hours/days, used to help me!
I totally agree with Toymachine.
I'm also on a terrible losing streak at the moment that is always sending me back to 15th floor.
I reviewed my plays, and the decisions I made were the best ones, always... the problem, as said by Toymachine, was purelly the "coin flip". It seems strange that it happens so often, but it sometimes does happen.
Go to Wild. Ladder sucks, and you will eventually notice that. If you really want to try it, go to - as you said - the more stable meta were no new "blockbuster" deck will take the meta by assault because of a new expansion.
The proof is a video (look for it in YT) where Trump, Sayian and Eloise are playing a championship together... They could talk to each other in order to decide the best play... All their play were BRUTALLY destroyed by pure RNG from the other side.

Great deck, CastorOrange...
I'm 10-1 with it, but one doubt: I see no use for the Tidehunter... What's your reason for that?

My personal opinion is no.
If you got bored with Druid, you will get bored even faster of Machine Gun Priest.
I have both decks and I don't like any of them anymore.

My 2 cents here:

I couldn't agree more...
