In a control heavy meta, I think Rebuke will absolutely be played, but not necessarily played correctly in games. A lot of aggro only players are not always the best at predicting plays, which is what will be needed to make rebuke work.
It seems a lot of people are talking about this card in a negative light without truly realizing what this means for Hearthstone.
Rebuke is one of the first tech cards for aggro decks with negative tempo! Unlike the monster that came before named Loatheb that contains a 5/5 body to continue contesting the board, Rebuke requires a choice to be made.
Until now, there really were not a lot of choices while playing aggro decks, aside from, "which minion should I attack face with first?" Now you have to actually think, even if only slightly, do you play Rebuke with a weaker turn? Or do you put down more minions to threaten lethal and risk a wipe? Or, do you remove Rebuke entirely because it's useless against the current meta?
These are the kinds of cards we need in Hearthstone. Not more Call to Arms.
