I believe the blame can be put on Wow's netcode. You see, your position is sent to the game server in packets, a few times per second, and additionally, every time you use a movement key. That is how the game server updates your position in the world and sends it to other players.
Now, this system works well enough in pve, where very little movement is happening (most of the time), but it's not the best thing in pvp as you can see. Activating a movement speed boost and erratically using your strafe keys will make you look like you're zipping left and right while the server struggles to update your position more often than usual, resulting in lack of fluid motion and apparent "teleportation".
This isn't anything new to be honest. People have been using this to their advantage since the game was released. Only advice I can give you is tab-target, don't try to click on him.

No, that was the 400 axes skill thread. The "lagging rogue" thing was before "In the Mountains".

I found a Youtube video that shows exactly what I mean:

PLEASE NOTE THE ROGUE IS USING SPRINT IN DUEL #2, BUT KEEPS LAGGING AFTER SPRINT HAS FADED!
Look at that Warrior get spanked because he doesn't know where the rogue is.
I think it's an exploit of some kind. I have a 74 rogue myself and I've never experienced anyone having trouble targeting, hitting or stunning me when I'm out of stealth.
Sprinted both times. Spammed the strafe/movement keys. This is not an exploit.

He would've won if he actually landed a couple more hits. Two crits took a big chunk of the rogue's HP at one point in the vid. The warrior was probably trying to right-click to start attacking. Idiots don't use /startattack macros.
