I see the Duck more as a class that has the power to apply water spells in dry land, his imagination makes him fly-on-the-ground (like swim) and can perform a duck dive to mitigate damage with his butt at top of the surface.
His main skill is called “Splash!”
This class may have some % increased skill when they fight in the middle of 2 friendly characters (like doing a line of ducks).
He can be a Alliance character against any form of pollution and fel corruption of living things. Ducks loves any living things and adore to see smiles on others faces, that’s why they love to party with Dwarfs and beer… but they hate anything related to death and are unable to understand dark humor. They ignore the Forsaken!
Instead of emotes, Ducks would have distinct quacks list that are not possible to translate to text (you will have to capture the feeling of the quack in its context to understand, like rage quack, love quack, funny quack, silly quack, confused quack, train quack…)
Only able to communicate by quack emotions (not words). This is their only language, because words may offend, and a quack emotion is similar without being offensive.
Do not tolerate to be humiliated when someone calls him a chicken!
Hates cooking, but loves to fish!
Rice will make him vulnerable!
May have a temporary power forms like a goose tank form, a swan healing form and a Mallard damage form (or a black swan form for shadow priests).
“Walks like a duck (Waddle) and not like an Egyptian” love parties of Quacking Break Dance.
About its dance, I think that “M.C. Hammer - U Can’t Touch This” would be a nice inspiration for Blizzard.
What is the advantage of having a character like this?
It would be a class based on emotions, you do not use words to express yourself.
Its quacks list of expressions creates a universal language that can be recognized by anyone in the world, without the need to learn a new language)
All ducks have affraid of the"Deadpool", but the place is known by its beauty and “The Duck Divas Club”. (underground, it has a city influenced by Undercity… thats cause ducks fel deaths)
Any Duck character may have 1 time opportunity to choose if it would be a short or a tall character.

I am writing only for the fun of to imagine how would be a Duck class in the context of World of Warcraft, but I do not believe this will ever ever happen.
