Most of these I've known for a while but I think they're relatively unknown tidbits that might be useful for newer players. Except for /pet feign, that one I learned recently.

Yeah, some of the abreviations are horrid like Howling Stones is charasis, Gorge of King Xorbb is beholder, etc.
Charasis is actually the original name for the city, it's not some weird abbreviation.

/who all corpse
will list out the corpses you have and what zones they are in. It may only work if you're in the zone of the corpse(s) though.

/who all count
will list the current number of logged in players

typing /pet feign twice quickly (or just make a macro) will make your pet perform it's death animation but is otherwise the same as /pet sit. Useful for when the tank in your group doesn't understand that he's trying to attack a charmed pet.

/rtarget will autotarget the last person to send you a tell. Incredibly useful when playing a buff class.

Ctrl+clicking a stacked item will only remove 1 item from the stack. This also works for ctrl+clicking the buy button on a merchant selling a stack of items.

Giving a charmed pet an offhand only item (like a torch) will make it dual wield. Useful for charm classes that don't want to carry around a ton of weapons just to make their pets dual wield. Giving a charmed pet -MR gear will increase charm duration. Giving a charmed pet a 2 handed weapon and an offhand only item will force the pet to use the 2 handed weapon and dual wield (useful if you want to give your pet a 2 handed weapon that procs but also want the DPS from dual wielding).

Most high end players know this but instaclickies ala Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring will reset your global spell cooldown, enabling you to cast spells quicker. The spell effect from the instaclick doesn't even need to take effect to reset the cooldown timer, so for example using jboots when you already have SoW will not overwrite SoW but it will reset your global spell cooldown, as long as you are outdoors. This is incredibly useful for shamans who want to quickly buff a player with a variety of buffs, or to quickly cannibalize down. By memorizing Canni 2 and Canni 3 they are able to cast Canni 2, click their instaclick, cast Canni 3, click their instaclick, and repeat.
