Easiest solution is probably to nerf Switcheroo's mana cost to 5. It's very sad though because Switcheroo is an effective tutor for other priests decks that needs it, and it's ruined by a broken interaction.

Or, I have a better idea. Make it so that Switcheroo only swaps health. That way:
The card is still as effective at tutoring for decks that want it.
Solving the standard version without nerfing twin fin.
Forcing the wild version to use Divine Spirit + Topsy/Inner fire/Bless to go for the kill instead of either using vivid nightmares or just callously dropping a 20/20 with charge at turn 4 against decks that can't deal with it. And without nerfing anything else too
Maybe it's still a problem in wild though? I don't know how consistent you get those two specific cards at turn 4.
Edit: You can still use vivid nightmares, you just have to use the attack buff cards first which is a lot less ideal I'd say.

3 mana: Swap the mana cost of 2 minions in your hand.
The card becomes way more consistent this way and the otk will still be available, but the combo normally comes a lot later, because you don`t have to draw one specific card but at least 3 specific cards.
Maybe additionally raise the mana cost of the spell.
I...don't understand how that preserves the combo whatsoever. You pay 3 mana (!!!) to draw no cards and create a 4 mana 1/1 boar and a 1 20/20 darkness, assuming you already have them in hand. Where's the combo? I don't think that effect would see play in Priest even if it was 0 mana.

Uhh no. Again, that's an entirely new effect that's pretty much a worse version of the one that you proposed previously.

Yeah. Switcheroo is so busted that I lost to one who used it in tandem with Worgen Infiltrator.

Or how about this:

I see you!
