That's video lag but not in anyway I've ever heard of before. So...
Without knowing much about your machine the only thing I can say is it sounds like a Driver issue.
Check with your graphic cards manufacturer's website and ensure you're running the latest drivers for your card. If you aren't download and install the newest ones. If that still doesn't fix the issue I have no idea. WoW is a fairly rescource friendly game. You don't need an uber PC to run it comfortably but if you're using a PC that has low RAM, an onboard graphics engine (integrated into the Motherboard rather then actually a seperate component, this is rather common in PCs that aren't specifically labled as Gaming Rigs, systems like e-Machines, HP, and lesser Dell & Gateway machines generally do this), or a slow processor it can cripple your experience.
HOWEVER, as I said before, your little problem isn't acting like the typical subpar PC issue (unless you were in like Shattrath City or Dalaran, then Video lag is pretty common).

It is probably my drivers I am betting. I had to use the previous version of the drivers when I had a graphics problem in City of Heroes, so I may just need to update them. I'll try that.
Alex C:
Have you tried turning the new fancy ass shadow settings off? Rendering those things can be tricky for older GPUs plus they're the only real graphic upgrade WoW has recieved relatively recently, so it's worth looking into. I'd also try turning off the reverb effect and see if that helps; audio lag is pretty rare in modern computing, but then again, the echo effects are about the only thing I can think of that really depend on whether you're indoors or not. It's doubly worth looking into if you have a Creative Labs sound card; Blizzard used a middleware developer to create their own software audio solution, and it has a history of not always playing nice with hardware solutions.
Jace:
When I said my graphics were the lowest, I have everything turned to the lowest setting pretty much. And all special effects are off. I'm guessing that it's the drivers, I'll update those tomorrow and try playing again.

Driver update help?
Also I have been playing more and more often on boulderfist where a bunch of my friends play, they are all mega higher lv than me (lv 70 while I am 60) so I am stuck pugging as a broccoli and getting dicked by some DK/Pally/etc. whenever I walk out the instance, On avrage I get killed by some alliance player every 2 hours. When this happens I res and get on with it, if they camp I log my warrior on hellscream and do some BG's or dailys since as a restro drood I stand no chance at all in pvp (I am full restro in alot of cloth so cat/bear form will still suck), other than that it is a low pop server with a shit economy but my friends still insist it is by far better than Hellscream which is full to the point of a 2 minute wait once in a while (95% of the time it is straight in) with a really good bunch of people on it. What do you guys look for in a server? I like high pop PvE serverswith lots of lv 80's.
