The deck is legit, but data also say one needs more effort for better results. New Charge Warrior is becoming a problem, but I doubt it's prevalent in Diamond ranks. Try 50 games in casual first if you feel pressured in ranked.
Depends on which version you play. Ignite is garbage; Ping is the way to go. You are good vs. Rogue and Paladin. See if you can beat these, if not then you are doing too many mistakes.
Libram Paladin is a top deck, so there might be two reasons why are you not performing well.
1) Your list is bad. No Barov and Samuro. My good advice is to forget about budgeting in HS. There are good reasons for every card included in decks. Here's the good list: AAECAZ8FCPy4A4TBA5PQA/voA5HsA9n5A7+ABOCLBAv9uAPquQPruQPsuQPKwQOVzQPA0QPM6wPw9gON+AP5pAQA You can cut the Murloc and Smite, but not Barov and Samuro.
2) You are playing bad. Which is normal if you are new or back to HS after a long time. But, then it's hard to point out everything you might be doing wrong. You can't simply learn everything HS over a night. Just play and learn.
First thing, you should get familiar with all the cards and decks from the format. This will help you learn matchups, mulligan and predicting / playing around stuff. Mulligan for 1 drops, then Bannerman, Vindicator... Keep Aldor, usually even without 1 drops against not fast opponents, especially on coin.
Control deck... probably you mean fatigue decks? There's a Priest deck, very hated because of too much generation. It got nerfed 2 weeks ago. That's the only good fatigue deck. Others are bad. I think they are going to move away from fatigue win conditions to something that actually kill people or end games, not just by boredom after 30 turns. They started printing more and more well-timed finishers for resource focused decks. For example, Warrior has Rattlegore and Silas. Libram had Flingers, haha, and now that 5 attacks weapon. Then N'Zoth stuff, Clowns, Cenarion Ward... We are looking to see what we get from the newest expansion.
Yeah, Year of the Raven almost killed HS with all that overpowered / underpowered and polarized stuff. Design got much better since then (of course, with occasional blunders). The thing is, HS is somewhat less exciting for a different reason, simply for being an old game. But it still holds up. One of the problems recently has been "created by", there was/is too much of it. On the other hand, on curve decks make games way to similar. They need to hit the right balance with this.
Now we are just waiting for the next xpack. Current meta is balanced and all, but boring, because of one dimensional curve decks. Currently not enough cards in the format.
