I agree with you wholeheartedly that Fleur is unlikely to be a 
DADA teacher, mainly because I belive that Dumbledore is going 
to put someone from the "old crowd" in that position.
However, Fleur isn't totally incompetent. I TBAYed a pair of 
theories *ages* ago, examining other possibile subject areas for 
her to teach.
Look at the first task with the dragons- Fleur was able to use a 
charm that put the dragon to sleep. She was able to control the 
dragon the best out of the four (at least in my opinion), and this 
means she could be adept at CoMC.
This also shows that she is adept at charms- not only is she 
able to charm the dragon, she uses the bubble-head charm  
(and still gets half points in doing so), and we don't know how 
she performed in the final task. Add into that mix her natural 
Veela "charm", and you have yourselves a potential Charms 
professor. Of course, that would necessitate the fall of Prof. 
Flitwick. . .
