Notice how most of the spells with a weird or absent tag are face damage spells ? That is not a coincidence.
And like you say the card clearly has the word "holy" in it so do you really need a tag ? it's a holy wrath, it's holy, always been holy, doesn't matter if it doesn't have the holy tag, balance matters more than flavor for Wild cards.
But you can't just make a holy spell non-holy for the sake of balance. You'd need to balance it another way.
What's next, Fireball is no longer a Fire spell? If they're going to introduce such a mechanic they need to be consistent with it.

Fuck this stupid ass card.
Quitting HS until it rotates.

Literally mandatory in every single deck.
Blizz was supposed to make cards that aren't good in every deck ever, but I guess they failed at it. Again.

I think this is very strong. You get a spell for free, and this card itself will probably take out one card with it, either a spell or a minion.

If you are playing secret paladin, I doubt your opponent activates every single secret on the same turn. And you don't have to play it on curve.
For example even turn 7 with 2 secrets, it's 5 mana for 10/10 in stats.

You think LoR is being copied? LoR itself copied every mechanic under the sun from Magic the Gathering.

It's a 7 mana 8/8, those are solid stats.

Actually, the text is:
Battlecry: deal 8 dmg to face

Pit Fighter saw play right, and I think this is better. Depends on how powerful the core set is as a whole.

"nobody played it for the 2/2 body" is so misleading. Nobody plays Ysera for the 4/12 body, but it damn sure helps.
