Chromaggus/Onyxia and a tech card, such as Harrison Jones or Brawl. You could also try running the new Karazhan cards, such as Book Wyrm or Netherspite Historian.

Potential for Deathwing to fill that spot? Seems to be a card that people always want to fit in there somewhere. He could potentially fill both roles of a board clear and large body that still acts as a dragon activator.

Nay, Deathwing is in a bad spot here. You see, this deck is not the new, cheese, midrange awesome Dragon Warrior. It's the old, heavy, controlish Dragon Warrior. In Standard builds, all deck is streamlined towards offense and employs little of control tools, looking towards spending its cards approaching late game, and doesn't have a lot of refill options. That's where Deathwing comes to save the party, offering that unique boardwipe and essentially not really hurting you with "discard your hand" clause, as you are hovering around 1-2 cards anyways.

With this old Dragon Warrior, what you do is sititting on top of your bunches of armor, removal and big cards, and all that stuff has a tendency to wait for a good moment in your hand. That is sorta counterproductive with Deathwing. 

I think overall this deck is weaker than a new Dragon Warrior because it is dilluted : you have proactive tools and you have defensive tools, but neither are matching their needs, you don't hit hard enough and you don't kill dead enough. I've always preferred streamlined plans to jacks-of-all-trades. To tell you the truth I don't play enough Wild mode to tell you "Is Dragon Warrior good" or is it "just the rest of Standard format is even worse".

IMO Chillmaw is irreplaceable if you are trying to play defense. I agree with the rest of @positiv2's suggestions .
