he's carrying a giant book and he's in a room full of books. i think he's a pissed off librarian. kids make fun of crusty types that work in libraries, go to libraries,etc. hence "Are you Mocking me!?!?!"
actually he is all-knowing "do you want to be a millionare?" player who messes up every time at half million question. Even though he has a giant book which is actually britannica or animal encylopedia
Only question that remains is, who is mocking him?
I was watching some Netflix when suddenly it hit me. Because I was watching House season 1 episode 4 and somewhere near the beginning he says: "are you mocking me??!!". And that quote has got to have been a meme in blizz HQ because they decided to make it a card quote.
That happens in episode 5, but I suppose if that were true, Blizzard would like to share the joke with the players, and make it more obvious that it is from Dr. House. That question is not that unusual, there is really nothing special about it, so there should be another thing to indicate it belongs to that serie and that specific moment if that were the case (the fact it is a priest class card and that players using Anduin usually heal their own minions, and real-life doctors do the same with people but without using magic :P, wouldn't be enough).

"Blizzard should explain all their in-jokes, thus defeating the purpose of an in-joke!!!!!!!!!!!"

Just tell me where I said that Blizzard should explain their jokes. Please, do it, instead of talking nonsense. Making them more obvious (like they actually do with all their jokes) doesn't mean in any way explaining them. There is really nothing about Wyrmrest Agent that truly indicates it is some kind of Dr. House parody, he even says that question ("are you mocking me?") in a completly different tone, since House was just joking when doing so, and Wyrmrest Agent is completly angry. So, enlight me, what makes you truly think this is related to Dr. House without making assumptions without facts (like nixxmismee did).
Well you have to count the fact that Wyrmrest Agent really looks like House as well. Also, I couldn't find a pop culture reference of "are you mocking me?" on Google. Maybe Blizzard assumes everyone has watched House season 1.
Are you really saying Wyrmrest Agent looks like House?. What?.

There are several easter-egg references like Dr. Boom but that saying has been well known way before 'House.'
Someone also asked Ben Brode on twitter about Wyrmrest Agent and what he says, but he never replied.
Nixxmismee, here you have several popular series (including Dr. House) and movies using the same phrase (and similar ones), wich is obviously not a surprise:
My interpretation was that priest was a shitty class for quite a while before TGT, and this card was made to make dragon priest viable, so there was a alot of pressure on this card. Blizzard expected people to mock this and laugh and say dragon priest won't be viable, that's why the agent says what he says.

Why?
I think Wyrmrest Agent is a dragon in human form. Still his sentence does not make much sense.
Because he stops aggro and cancerous decks from hitting your face ? Maybe. Just a theory.
Used to be a proud Handlock player.
Legend 17 times.
Still flirting with the ladder from times to times with Renolock.
Because he is actually mocking you. It's BM.

Wyrmrest Agent is BMing. Reported.

Maybe you mocked him. Or he's just angry because you're getting him killed most of the time.

He shouts "Are you mocking me??!!" and then your hero and minions get annoyed by him,so he has taunt......Same principle as Evil Heckler

Based on the flavor text and broad lore of the card, seems to be referencing something about the 5 dragonflight or being a dragon in disguise.
Or something with it having taunt?
Then again, hearthstone does create some of its own lore aside from WoW so it might not have much meaning
