Hi, do you have any clue what does "sometimes" mean? An older report (#3368) says it happens when players who using pets get targeted by Shadow of Death, but I've just tested this, and it works properly.
If you are jumping when you die, you don't turn into the ghost.
Nice found, I could reproduce.
It also happens when people have certain amount of shadow resistance. Mark/Gift of the Wild can cause it, same as Shadow Protection. I'm not sure but I think that it happened on retail as well because of the shadow rez. Also, If you are a rogue and you get debuff and if you use Cloak of Shadows it will instantly kill you and spawn constructs at the place of death (this might work for pala bubble as well, not sure about it tho).

I've never been convinced of this idea, personally. We always run shadow protection buff on Teron and don't experience and increase in the bug. Worth testing obviously, but the only time I've ever seen people die but not turn into a ghost is because of the jumping thing.
@Applescruffs Might be that you are right but some combat logs say that it was resisted. It still might be because player jumped but didn't remember it because it's kind of automatic action that many players do and first thing they thought happened is resist because of the shadow protection/gotw/motw. I think that best way to try to recreate it is by capping shadow resistance or by just increasing it just to see if it has any influence on the debuff.

This was the first thing I tested after the report made, never resisted the debuff with maximum Shadow Resistance, so you are safe to run w/ Shadow Protection & Mark of the Wild.
The buff can't be resisted because the DBC value has the Attribute of always hitting. (40251)
The spell to remove it however, is resistable. (41999 for reference.)
But spawn Shadowy Constructs. Usually it happens once in month and make no problems for raid. Last week it was 8-9 times in 3 boss pulls.
