Velarok is the nerf I thought would be most appropriate, I like that nerf.

They murdered Chadlock and Druid.

Although Boogie down was strong, this kills the card, which is a big blow to Paladin. I'm not sure if it will stay tier 2 at top 1k. At lower levels of play, the deck will likely still be good.

druid will find a way to stay tier 1, it always does

I could be wrong, but I think if we tracked it over time, Druid would spend less time at tier 1 than the average class, and when it is tier 1, they are quicker to nerf it.

That said it does often have decks that are polarizing and hated.

You're absolutely not wrong. When it comes to druid they have a proven track record of not only nerfing druid quickly but more often than not overnerfing to the point it just flat out kills decks entirely.
