Those of you who play on a Cata realm probably know this already, but for those of you who don't, Potions of Illusion are an easily-craftable vanity potion introduced in Cataclysm. When used, they turn your character model into the model of another player character within close physical proximity.
Good for a laugh even when working properly, Illusion pots on Molten are (not surprisingly) wildly bugged. When using a pot to transform into someone who is already transformed, be it with an item like Blessing of the Old God or with another illusion potion, you get some interesting results, such as...

You gotta post a screenshot of that if you can still do it, I've seen Mirror Images show up wearing half-transmogged gear (or sometimes even missing gear entirely) but I've never seen any that look exceedingly weird like you get with Illusion pots.
Another thing you can do with Illusion pots as Druid only is shift into a form at the same time you use a pot. If you get the timing right, instead of the buffs bugging each other out like they normally would if you used them in sequence, they'll both work, such that you gain the attributes of the shapeshift but the appearance of the potion.
I had my friend copy my Moonkin form with his own Illusion pot, then I shifted into flight form at the same time as drinking my Illusion pot while standing next to him. The result is a bear-deer-chicken that finally achieves flight, as shown here:
Even though you lose the effect upon mounting up, I couldn't keep myself from doing a few BGs whilst keeping the effect active during the whole thing by using the potion off my own characters every 2 min.
