I noticed something interesting last night when killing one of those world mini bosses. There was a few horde and alliance beating on him when I joined, I did a Death from Above and hit some of the allis pets which then started to attack me, np I thought I just vanish and heal up with Shadow's caress which normally heals me for 50k per tick in the world and 20k per tick in instanced PvP.
Here's the interesting thing, it healed me 20k per tick just like in instanced PvP for about 5-6 seconds and then reverted to 50k per tick.
That would suggest that when in PvP combat even in World PVP the PvP template becomes active when in combat with another player. I managed to repeat the same result when the boss was up again. What's going on here? Anyone else have experienced something similar?
