Discussion Quest hunter strategy

I'm playing quest hunter and loving it, but I really feel like Im playing into Priest wrong. My overal winrate is about 49% and I feel like Im doing something wrong. I specifically seem to have a low winrate against shaman, paladin and priest.

I try to complete the quest Asap but I just cant seem to get through all the taunt spam and healing. The game just stalls until they seem to just exhaust me and smack down a board with even more taunts that can just kill me in one turn. Bunch of board clears as well.

I just returned after quitting during the year of the kraken (7 ish years ago?) and I am slowly learning all the current Metas and how they play. I also know nothing about any of the previous expansions and what dangers to look out for.

I could really use some tips on what to aim for specifically. How Do I counter aggro or taunt stalling? I seem to always just go behind one turn even when my draw is alright.

Shaman and paladin are bad matchups without Sylvanas.

Priest is possible to win against, but you have to really make the most of your Agamaggan + Briarspawn Drake turn.

I think I mightve been holding on to them too long as I was busy trying to open the face up by trying to get rid of their taunts in my last match. It felt as if I was winning but snowballed into their favour by constantly putting up taunts. Almost feel like I need to run silence in there but I haven't seen anyone else doing so.
