Let's take the strategy out of declaring attackers and just see what happens.

Goblin Warchief without the +1/+1 but grants everything haste. I don't know why he's rated so low because he's going to be essential to making a Battalion deck run. Drop him after you combat phase in turn 3 (or maybe just on turn 3 if you can safely) and all the sudden those slower Battalion cards like Firemane Avenger are 100% better.
Being forced into attacking with everything every turn doesn't really matter if you have the best 1/2/3 drop Battalion cards in play.

Definitely underrated right now. (Heck, it currently doesn't even have a rating of 3.0!)
Admittedly, playing him comes at high risk indeed.
As we all know, with great power comes great responsibility.
Therefore, this can be great if you act wisely and know what you want to get out of him.
Just choose the right creatures you're going to unleash with him - pun intended, since cards with that keyword tend to synergize with him - as well as the obvious one, batallion).
This guy is somewhere between Goblin Warchief and Bloodrush Cyclops.
As opposed to the cyclops, albeit more fragile, he's much easier to cast and gets out a turn earlier, which makes a huge difference since this allows you to roll in with multiple small or one big creature on turn four immediately.
Also, again, seeing how this line just keeps popping up again and again, particularly on berserker related cards, and now on one that gives it to all your c... (see all)

Not sure why this is rated so low. In any deck where you're going to play him, you're going to be wanting to attack each turn, and Fervor strapped to a 2/2 Goblin is fantastic.
If his second ability bothers you so much, keep a Fling or an Arms Dealer handy. As is, he fits in delightfully with Krenko, Mob Boss.

To further Kryptnyt's comment the flavor text should read OHH YEAAAH!
this makes sense in a bloodrush deck to me since I will probably just be trying to swing with one or two guys anyway and cast combat tricks.

Huh, that goblin doesn't look very freaky despite being a Cenobite.

Well at least if you don't want a creature to attack right away you can play it second main phase I guess.
