Again the FIX is
Set SHADOWS and LIQUID QUALITY to GOOD
just tried it myself after getting the bug...didn't help. that might have worked for you, but it didn't make a damn bit of difference for me.
I tried /reloading, I've tried relogging...twice. didn't make a bit of difference. it wasn't until I completely exited the game that it fixed itself.
turn off auto self cast in the interface>combat from esc menu
Happened to me in BG, we won, but right before the bug occurred I "alt-z'd" my GPU recorder and escaped quick. It makes sense that my game thinks Alt is being held down and all my offensive spells are targeting me.

Follow up ~ I pressed Alt-Moonfire: Invalid target(targeting deer) then just moonfire and death to bambi.
still happening ... :) oh life
Remarkably it's still going on. Re-logging gets did not help
Just happened to me on Gul'Dan... Could only use Throw Glaive and Eye Beam on him.
Edit: Also tried the self-cast/Alt hammering and nothing worked. Tried Alt+Tabbing, still no go.
Once the fight was over, back in Dalaran I couldn't use wings from double-jump or fel rush. It would fire, but my toon would stand around like an idiot.
As of 5/19 it is still happening
Gotta love this bug happening in the middle of the dungeon.

Today was the first time I ran into this bug. Toggling the self cast/alt key fixed it for me. Thanks for suggesting that.
It's 2017 and this fixed it for me ten minutes ago.
got stuck with the invalid target bug in a raid. relogging, reloading UI, disabling addons... i couldn't access my bags any way other than shift+B and i couldn't attack with anything but fel rush, vengeful retreat and fury of the illidari. actually still in the raid. just watching the boss die.
as soon as the last boss died I was able to target enemies again. RIP.
Still happening. Disabled all my addons and problem went away. Can't say which addon was creating the problem.
The abilities which don't require a target (i.e. Blade Dance, Fury of the Ilidari, Fel Rush, etc) were working but all other which need to be used on a target (i.e. Demon's Bite, Fellblade, etc) didn't.
its extremely annoying when it happens to you
Still going. Happened during Agatha fight. Restarted the fight, no good. Restarted wow. No good. restarted comp. no bueno, esse.
Alt tabbed out and then came back in from windows while still running and the bug disappeared without need for a console reload or game restart.
