I'm not sure if you guys just play way more than me or if I'm just unlucky (probably you guys play more as I haven't crafted any yet), but I've gotten in order:
Cenarius, Cairne, Antonidus, Al'Akir (plus all the not really as rare as most legendaries from Naxxramus)

None of my legendaries are terrible, but they are very class specific. I'm at about 1300 dust right now so I'll probably be crafting a Legendary soon. I'm thinking either Rag or the Black Knight. (Actually I'm considering Elite Tauren Chieftain also, but only because I know I'll never ever open him in a pack and I think it's a fun card.)

You should craft Gelbin: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Gelbin_Mekkatorque

His inventions are all mechs, so they combo with GvG.

I bought a single pack to get Gelbin already. I forgot to mention it though because I hardly ever use him. I probably will in a mech deck in the future though.

That was during Beta, right?  I'll never get golden Gelbin or ETC.

It's ok, almost no one will ever get golden ETC.

But I know I'm going to be opening a lot of GvG packs in the near future so I won't craft any of the GvG Legendaries.

I'm thinking the same, and I'm sitting on about enough dust to grab a legend.  Recommendations?  My thoughts:

Black Knight:  As more and more Taunt and Taunt/DS minions show up, this could be really useful; I've used it to good effect in Arena.
Ragnaros:  The go-to "standard" finisher.  Can sit in almost any deck.
Ysera:  So much awesome.  Can sit in almost any deck.
Sylvanas or Cairne:  Either could be fun in one of my Deathrattle decks, especially with Shaman Reincarnate

Votes?

I crafted Sylvannas and she goes it most decks too. Really works with reincarnate obviously, but it's a really good 6 drop for most decks anyway.

I think this is right.

As noted, I play fast decks instead of control, even to my own detriment.  I feel like not having Ragnaros is a bit reason I'm wary of control decks, and Sylvanas seems like another must have.

I use Leeroy + Cairne in all decks at this point, since they're not that expensive and are generally always useful.

I feel like Thalnos is another Legendary that everyone plays in all decks when it is owned.

I've decided to hold onto my dust until GvG drops to check the Legendaries there.  I think I'll end up with the one that spawns random legendaries, just because.

Thalnos should be rare. It's silly.

As someone who doesn't have Thalnos, I'd really like for it to be rare so that I don't have to spend dust on it if I want to play Miracle.

Although odds are that you're going to open GvG packs, I still think it's worth saving dust in case there are cards from that expansion you want. Think about card X you're missing now from the base set, where card X is most likely not even a legendary, then consider that this expansion is pushing the power level a bit.

... consider that this expansion is pushing the power level a bit.

Yeah...probably. It looks like it has a whole bunch of weak cards mixed with must haves. Quite a bit of power creep with the cards being released very recently.

Not at all. Thalnos is really just for spell-oriented decks like Miracle Rogue and Freeze Mage. He's almost never played in other decks.

Maybe playing two in a deck would be too strong? While dropping two on the board at once may not be a big concern, having two in deck means you can cycle one and still use the spell power from the other later on.

[pingpongsam]

Recently I was running Mage and I gained a Thalnos on my board with the secret that copies a summoned enemy minion. Then I got Two in hand with Duplicate. Having 2 Thalnos on board with a handful of spells and Gadgeteer/Wyrm made an easy win thereafter.

[HiveMindEmulator]

Ysera:  So much awesome.  Can sit in almost any deck.

Not really. Ysera is spectacular in control vs control, but you need a deck that is secure enough in its ability to get to turn 9 in an even position. Alexstrazsa is the more generally usable 9-drop, since it can also have some usable effect when you're behind.

My philosophy is oftentimes that something that is too strong in multiples, that might be an indicator that the first copy of it is too autoincludy.

That's likely the case with Thalnos.  Of course not every deck wants him, not every deck uses the spell damage mechanic, but every deck that uses the spell damage mechanic wants him, and with like 8? or so minions in that category it seems like there's supposed to be some parity amongst the things in that category.

Just hit 250 ranked wins as Druid. 500 is a long ways.

I'm at 320 with Shaman. Seems not too far now.

I tend to play many classes relatively evenly. I expect to hit 500 wins with most of them in like 2 years, but probably all around the same time.

[pingpongsam]

I basically never play Rogue. 2nd to last would be Priest though I am relatively good with one. The rest I do pretty evenly, most are between 50 and 100 Ranked wins. I definitely play Druid the most. My least favorite class would be Shaman... it might be Rogue but I wouldn't know.

I hated Rogue until I discovered Ooze Rogue! Now I love Rogue. It always wins or loses spectacularly. This is basically determined by whether or not enough minions stay out long enough to get buffed.

I'm being slowplayed by a control warrior, this just might be the worst thing ever.

Where's Nozmordu when you need him?

Persevere!

What's up with Blizzard's rarity assignments? I just noticed that Soot Spewer (Mage, 3 mana 3/3 with +1 spell damage, mech) is rare while Kobold Geomancer (neutral, 2 mana 2/2 with +1 spell damage) is common, basic in fact. Weird.

[Awaclus]

3 mana 3/3 mech with +1 spell damage is a lot more useful than a 2 mana 2/2 with +1 spell damage.

[blueblimp]

3 mana 3/3 mech with +1 spell damage is a lot more useful than a 2 mana 2/2 with +1 spell damage.

I'm not disputing that, but clearly the rarities don't have much to do with power level, or (for example) Water Elemental wouldn't be common.

It looks like they choose some dates based on the uniqueness of their effect, and then pick the rest out of a hat or something. Epics tend to be the most situational cards.

[popsofctown]

Rarity assignments are kinda crazy sometimes.

[Awaclus]

Why can't the animations be faster?

I just emptied my hand and played a Divine Favor against a Hunter with 2 cards in hand, just to find out that his secret triggered my Clockwork Gnome before my three mana vanilla cantrip resolved.
