As for the expansion, I guess it will all depends on the inspire mechanic. Most card with inspire seem like they'll be too slow...either get them on the board and use hero power next turn, or wait till you can put them on and use the hero power the same turn...either it feels like it will slow...and since there is a huge amount of aggro, it just feels bad right now.
They might introduce a few card that could all change that though.
I hope they manage to reduce aggro and slow the game a bit. Personally I hate playing aggro deck, I find the, too boring and one dimensional. I enjoy decks and games where there are lot of strategy and decision making and it goes back and forth between players. That might just be me though.

someone posted on reddit that there's about ~40 playable cards of the 130 from GvG (used in the meta). TGT seems to be on par to have about as many. Those 3 mana Legendaries are playable as well as some others already mentioned, with ~100 yet to be revealed.

I think with GvG that we were overly optimistic about cards. Troggzer and Bouncing Blade immediately spring to mind as cards that we thought would be great but didn't pan out. And, yeah, nobody saw Dr. Boom as a required card until GvG launched. I actually remember Boom being a sleeper. Then the day after GvG launched a few pros tossed him in their decks and suddenly everyone realized just how good he is.
With TGT we're being pessimistic. I can't say that we're being overly pessimistic yet but so far we haven't seen much that is good outside of Arena. The two 3 cost Legendary guys are, automatically, good since they are Spider Tanks with positive abilities. They also fill a niche of cheap costed but usable Legendaries. Other than that though I don't see much that is good or even playable. Like I said before, I think Inspire was their attempt to slow the game down but that only works if people ignore playing Face Huntard or Zoo decks. They only slow the game down if everyone starts playing them. But until we get actual tools to deal with insane aggro, the game will never slow down because aggro will just outrace your slow deck.

new druid card is a 2-mana cost 2/3 minion with battle cry: gain an empty mana crystal and death rattle: destroy a mana crystal

Minor nerf to MCT and Shredder I guess? Still, pretty damned good if you can silence it (or even not... Druids run a lot of 4-drops) but I wonder how it'll get used.
Strong rare, looks like it should be an epic even. Shame it is Druid only.

druid could play the Wailing Souls minion to silence it I guess and you could play it with an Ancient Watcher too
Good deal. Sounded kinda dumb at first, but could be a card you swap in depending on the meta like Kezan Mystic

Why do you care so much to want to quit if you only play for arena? Most of the cards are looking solid for arena. Yeah the random pack is shitty but its still an upgrade over only getting one pack type.
Its a hard counter for Demonlock which was the number 2 for the last snapshot. People start running demon lock more, aggro pally takes its place.
90% win percentage against handlock, over 75% win percentage over Demon.
Grim patron on the other hand hasnt budged from 1st place ever.
Like I said earlier, just make warsong only charge minions if they stay at 3 attack. If they go over for any reason they can no longer charge.
And you balance that deck out, and it will still be in the top 5.

Aggro Pally is fun. Minions are sticky so Blessing of Might and Kings can usually find a target that will get to attack. It's also a blast going up against Face Huntard and putting them on the defensive. Most of them have no idea what it's like to have to think about making trades and they start to panic when Pally is more aggressive than they are.

Correct thing to do against aggro pally as face hunter is to just keep dumping your hand and racing to the face. They'll never get value out of divine favor, and a face race is definitely in your favor, although not by a whole lot. A well timed explosive or unleash will blow the game out, unleash typically being the only time you consider trading instead of going face.
Which is what a face hunter is. If you are trading you are losing.
FYI Face and agro pally are even win percentages against each other. Which means you don't want to face them on either side if you are playing those two decks.
If people start playing aggro pally this season, ramp druid will hit top 5 for next snapshot.
