I'm not certain if this is already a planned feature for GW2, but I would like to see compatibility with a 3D Mouse. This could add better control over your movement and camera if implemented properly. It can also GREATLY enhance the underwater controls. Basically there are 6 degrees of freedom: Shift Forward/Back, Shift Left/Right, Up/Down, CW/CCW Rotation, Tilt Forward/Back, Tilt Left/Right.

For on land: Shift F/B is an obvious run forward, run backwards. Shift L/R would be strafe left and right. Up/Down would be camera zoom in and out. Rotation would be turn left or right. Tilt F/B could move your camera angle up or down. Tilt L/R could be customizable or disabled.

For under water: Shift F/B is swim forwards or backwards. Shift L/R would still be strafe. Up/Down would be swim up/down or keep it as camera zoom. Rotation is turn left or right. Tilt F/B could still be camera angle up or down. Options for Tilt L/R could be further explored.

I think this could be a very seemless and streamlined intuitive way to control position and camera angles with one hand dynamically. The free hand could use a game pad or (cough) touchscreen controls. Something to consider in my opinion.
