Mage armor just disappears

This happened friday, yesterday and also this morning.

Yesterday I was in an openraid event and the raidleader almost booted me 
because it kept vanishing randomly through the first 2-3 hours in the 
raid (it suddenly stopped disappering).  I was sure I was getting crazy 
until I saw it disappearing in front of my eyes while we discussed 
strategies before dark shamans in SoO.  The other mage in the didnt have 
that problem, so I was sure it was something I did (like missclicking on 
the buff etc).
This morning I asked another mage guildie and he had the same problem. 
We have no clue why it keeps disappearing.  Addon issue, server issue, 
client issue etc..  As it happens randomly its pretty hard to force it. 
  This morning it disappeared while I was on a flight.
Its not the first time I have experienced this.  But yesterday was just 
ridiculous.  I had to reapply the buff in the middle of the Nazgrim and 
Spoils fight!

I did some research on it last night and I can see I'm not the only one. 
  All I found was a single thread (march 2013) in the US blizzard forum 
and no solution were presented.

Anyone?

  A couple of threads and no solution, report it, add to the threads.
  Did you change specs or talents before this happened?
  Maybe try reapplying all glyphs and talents, just a **wild guess** 
since it is reported to be talent/glyph based, there are some complex 
internal associations between glyps and talents to mess up.

  At least it isn't expensive, you don't have to buy them again :-)

Nope.  I swap talents lots of times during a raid.  But I always 
remember to check and reapply all buffs.

This happened a lot years back. Some or all characters in view would
suddenly be down to their skivvies.

You could reapply all glyphs as well, there are a lot of talent/glyph 
interactions and -maybe- something got broken.

Seemingly random events are often due to combinations of things, like 
the loss inraid could be some other buff ticking off.

e.g. If it happened during a zone change you could go to a zone edge and 
cross a few times to see if that triggered it. When flying was it a zone 
change?

Just keeping pushing buttons until somewthing breaks or settles back 
into place.
