AV druids DESPAWN when kited

We had the horde kite the AV druids all the way across the field of strife and almost to Iceblood Tower, when they started running back towards Stonehearth. I thought they were about to leash or something. Instead, while running back at 90% health the Arch Druid just disappeared and despawned.

Weird. Not contributing much just replying for visibility.
