NPC's will still finish their current cast if you run around a corner. This tactic allowed you time to feign without worrying about the NPC's starting another cast and breaking it. They had to have you in their Line of Sight to begin another spell.

NPC starts cast
NPC starts cast
Monk runs around corner
NPC spell hits Monk
NPC spell hits Monk
NPC's run after Monk to get Line of Sight again (Cannot cast)
Monk feigns

It's going to be very difficult to find any evidence without that message (You are no longer feigning death because a spell hit you). There is just no way to tell from a log what the monk is doing without it.

I've tried searching through here without any luck but there are a lot of old posts regarding feign death:

This was included in the last patch also by Rogean. Maybe he has some better evidence than me, I don't know.

Rogean: Mob AE's hitting a Feign Death player will no longer add them to the aggro list. (It will still break FD)
