I mean, its a really cool and colourful spell. But what do I do with this other than save repair bills? Die and someone else basically gets a 3 minute Banish. What practical use does this have in group play
Say you’re about to wipe, say It’s very deep into the dungeon, who likes walking back right? Tell your healer or run yourself to a safe spot, DI and then wait and rez.

Beat you to it!
Basically this or cheesing mechanics.
Wot? But the healer will still be in combat? Does it remove combat?
Guaranteed wipe if people are in rezzable positions you can use it on a rezzer.
The mobs will act as if the DI’d target does not exist. Once everyone else is dead or zoned out, they will leash, and the DI’d target will drop combat and be able to res.

Can also be fun to mess with your friends in dungeon runs >:)

Zoink a few various raid encounters, BWL and ZG come to mind.
Yes, it takes them out of combat. And as long as they aren’t too close to other mobs, they can dismiss the spell and start resurrecting the party. Used it many times in days past; sad it was removed from the game.
I even used it in PvP a few times. Since it lasts 2 minutes (iirc), I’d have enough time to run back, and rez, and start banging on the enemy players camping my healer.
Ya’ll are forgetting something… The pally is the healer, obviously… Can’t DI themselves. Maybe get lucky and DI an engineer with jumper cables lol

how do you do the infamous DI cheese in these places?
Yep, DI in deep parts of Sunken Temple will save hours of people getting lost…
You can give it to mages so they can AE the whelps in UBRS.

Yeah as others have stated DI is a wipe recovery tool. It has other niche uses, but basically if you’re in a raid (or a party with multiple Rez capable classes) and a group wipe is imminent you just target someone that can resurrect, is far enough away that they won’t aggro, and DI them.
It removes them from combat and lasts 3 minutes. They can cancel the buff when they wish to.
Saves you (and them) a repair bill, and prevents the group from having to run all the way back.
Yes, DI removes the bubbled player from combat and bosses will reset after everyone else is dead. It can be cancelled early to start the rezzes. Also, the paladin who casts DI may die, but does not take durability damage.
A prot pally I used to run with used DI to troll our DPS in a dungeon run one time. DPS were our friends and spend the entire run trolling our tank, pulling extra mobs, kiting them around to make it difficult for him to pick them all up, etc. Just generally busting his stones in good fun.
So on the last boss, prot pally pulled the boss and then immediately cast DI on me (the healer) and we watched DPS get boss stomped. It was fun.
So there are lots of uses for DI. I missed it when it was removed. Good paladin raid etiquette includes always trying to rotate DIs among the paladins during progression wipes. Saves lots of repair bills. You can DI anyone with a rez, if you have to, but paladins preferred 
You could have prevented this. Why didn’t you tell them earlier?
The trick back in the day was to DI a Rezzer, and make sure you yourself had a soul stone on. Then as soon as you DI, you Rez once the wipe is over, the DI’d healer undoes the shield, and suddenly with in 30 seconds, the group is back up.
