I’ve noticed the trap breaks due to exit of combat. If the target has other aggro options (your pet, a buddy, etc.) combat is not ended and only you go out of combat, the trap seems to stay active as all aggro is not lost. The trap should only break if ALL aggro is lost on all active party targets (combat terminated). This might explain why it still works in instances as well since you are likely in a group and the target would aggro onto the group.
This process is also part of a ‘safe’ pull. If the mob can’t see the group to aggro onto them, you can FD and all mobs (in case of wrong or over pull) run back to starting position, freeze breaks if you used it. At least, that has been my

Hunter: Thalika & Morris the Cat (owner of aforementioned Hunter) if you are in solo play and your pet (or no other characters) have any threat on the mob, when you feign he has no one to target, so gets reset and evades till he gets back home.-Knock, Knock.
Who’s there?
Go Fck yourself.This has always happend in solo play. When your out questing or farming and you feign your ice trap will break as your aggro gets reset. This is normal and has been happening for as long as i have been playing.
As for in an instance. if you have a mob on ice and feign it will not break the trap.
in this recent patch the only nerf to traps has been that you cannot have two traps sprung at once. This is going to be changed back soon as im sure many have already heard.
