Realm: Sylvanas
Character (name, faction, level...): Hinnoreth, Horde, 99 Belf DH
Difficult mode of the instance in which you found this issue: normal
Complete description of your issue (do not forget to specify the issue, all conditions for making the issue to happen, and if the issue is related to a phase, specify the phase in which you found this issue): Some mobs just can quit attacking you, even after they are dead. You stay in combat forever (tested up to 10 minutes). No way to mount, logout, exit in game menu. Only Alt-F4 and taskmanager helps. After logging in this effect has a 20-80% chance to proc, making you go nuts around the following rotation: Alt-F4, wait minutes, restart, login, pray for normal gameplay, loading screen (few more minutes), try to mount, go 50 yards, fight, try to mount.
Steps for reproducing the issue:
Start a DaemonHunter, do the quests, in the middle of the storyline killing one mob gives you a 1 - 30% chance of getting stuck in combat.
Found a duplicate report that is more detailed and better quality than this:

Seems to be and old issue that effects (disturbs) many players.
In the DH starting area - Mardum - it happened to me ca. every 5 minutes. You have to travel a lot there, and mounting is a necessity.
Going to Azsuna it happened once in an hour.
This issue requres a developer's attention. As developers have little time for testing, and we are testing this 'functionality' all the time, please tell us what kind of feedback would help you fixing it. What details/events should we pay attention to when we are stuck in combat.
New observation to help fixing this issue: this happens to me repeatedly when mobs reset. I would bet this is the actual reason.
Happened again when killing http://www.wowhead.com/npc=84805/stonespite , no other mobs around.
Curiously Stonespite seemed to be inanimate: did not attack. It happened fast, so i'm not 100% sure, but i think the brewmaster AoEs had no effect on it, and then http://www.wowhead.com/spell=100780/tiger-palm killed it.
There was a server restart soon after i killed Stonespite, so I went there again. Now it properly attacked me, died, and i was out of combat.
One thing, that could be a clue is now i looted http://www.wowhead.com/item=116858 a 100% drop, but previously when i was stuck in combat there was only some trivial loot, maybe Garrison Resources, if my memory serves right.
