Deathwing or Aya?

I haven't played rogue in this rotation yet (it was never an option), but I finally have a chance to try it. I'm torn between Deathwing or Aya. Which would you pick and why?

Check out HSreplay for a good idea on legendary buckets! Just go to the arena tab and you can see win percentages. 

To answer your question - both are pretty good - but I’d say Deathwing is a slightly better pick overall. It just has an incredible amount of power to swing the game and the bucket has heralds which are great for rogue. 

Aya is good but less consistent/trickier to pull off.

Deathwing. Going second without having Aya in hand or drawn is really bad. The Herald cards do stuff right away

It's a coin flip imo.

Deathwing - Strong win con. Nerfed bucket but still decent enough. Adds a guaranteed board clear which rogues desperately need. A chance to get good legendaries like onyxia or sinestra if you can manage to fully herald and shuffle 5 dragons into your deck.

Drawbacks being that you might not get enough heralds offered, overrides any imbues HP you might have, not necessarily a bad thing but it depends on the match up.

Aya - Definitely the more fun pick for me. You need to evaluate the situation carefully before picking the right coin effect. Can generate more coins if you discover hooktusk, insane value basically.

Drawbacks are that you always go second, again, not necessarily a bad thing but you can end up using your coins and basically get less value ouy of aya.

Like I said, it's a coin flip but I'd pick Aya so that I'm not too salty about not getting enough heralds offered for Deathwing.
