He just, so to speak, fucked up his WG usage - as you pointed out (I didn't look at the log itself, so I'm just going on what you posted). Given that, he'd have done just as poorly taking HotW or NV with his SotF build that specific pull.
Due to my guild's incredible slowness, I haven't even pulled Gruul on Mythic yet, but still this looks like more of a debate between WG and Rejuv builds, less between HotW/NV and DoC. Since the fight seems very Butcher-like (with some differences, namely an intermission phase), maybe the Rejuv build is better.
The idea of using Wrath is more as an alternative to doing nothing, less for its DPS/HPS (from DoC) alone. Since you'd be doing nothing anyway (to get mana back), why not use a 0 mana ability?
This is new from the past expansions where even Wrath would cost mana, so back then it was conceivable there's cases where your best option could have been to stand and /dance.
