You can't stop your FRAPS'd video and adopt a neutral viewpoint or enemy viewpoint or teammate viewpoint. This is a massive, massive block to being able to analyze your own games to improve your play.
There's also the matter that WoW, honestly, just doesn't take a lot of skill to play. Most games, both RBG and arena, are decided in a handful of seconds, and everything leading up to that point and frequently after that point mostly doesn't matter. Didn't get behind that pillar or get that Wind Shear off to stop that Sheep that allowed them to CC you for 20 seconds? You lost, in a one second span of time.
