Kalecgos is one of them, that boss should just be wiped off the map. He's just that annoying. But baring that, there are these lovely little hedges placed around the instance. Don't go on those. If you do, you might just make your raid leader and Warlocks scream at you.
If you get on one of these hedges and step the right way, you'll find yourself stuck behind them (click the image above for a high resolution version), unable to get out. The only way to get out is for you to hearth, for a Mage portal to be placed behind the hedge, or for a Warlock to summon you out. All the while you've taken up a good couple minutes of raid time.
Needless to say, I've found myself in this trap before. Sometimes these hedges can be particularly deceiving since there'll be a space behind them that it looks like you can run around in and probably find a way out. However don't be fooled – 99% of the time there isn't.
Maybe this is something the Blizzard modeling team can take up. Moving the hedges back just a few feet so they're flush against the wall would do the trick. But until this annoying little environment "feature" is changed, watch your step in the Sunwell Plateau!

i was bored on my druid and i did this one time, i was however able to get out eventually so a hearth or summon isnt neccessary although most likely much faster

I once somehow managed to get past the fires around Felmyst's area and got into the water, had to get summoned out!

First time we went to the Sunwell Plateau I got stuck behind the same bushes as on the picture. When I yelped out to the raid that I was stuck and probably needed a summon, half the raid rushed to the bushes and jumped in after me.
Best fun I've had in years.

I got feared behind one of the hedges when tanking some trashmobs on my feral druid. The next pack of mobs got dragged near me by the raid so i could get our with a charge :D

You can actually wall jump out of there, just position yourself where two of the hedges meet. I discovered this while exploring right after SWP came out and if I can walljump out, anyone can.
After you free yourself, go over to the two Draenei NPCS, follow them around clicking on them and listen to what they say ;)

Have you tried it recently though? They fixed wall jumping not long ago. It's nearly impossible in most areas now.

You can get out of that spot by jumping where the hedges meet.

My sticking spot is those braizers in Steam Vaults, the ones right by the instance. Seems like every other run there I'll get stuck after killing the first mobs.
Very annoying to make two people run out and summon me to the stone or have a warlock summon me two feet.

my favorite was when a raid member did it in Kara, just after you leave Shade and go up, there's a small ledge outside the room with the shades there's a small ledge, he got out of it after about ten minutes of us laughing at his attempts.

Warriors can intercept a mob out from back there, or intervene a party member if no mobs are up.

As a gnome, I constantly get trapped in small places. I cant even walljump my way free anymore. :(
