Okay, maybe resto shamans dualwielding wasnt cool enough. I dug down harder into my past recent experiences and remembered an interesting thing for when you copy over your character to a test realm or do a server transfer.
First, my breakdown of the overall workings of this bug. Consider each object in the game (that includes items, spells, buffs, currency, etc.) Now, each object has a unique object ID assigned to it when created or invoked (via you receive an item or cast a spell). This is where it gets interesting. Well, the object ID which gets assigned by the server, is stored on the server (likely in a V-table for who knows?). Well, when your character is copied, all the items, money, etc transfer as it should.
Now consider this, remember seeing the note of one of the restrictions to Paid Character Transfers (most quests progress will transfer, but any that have a counter for how many creatures you had to kill - those quests won't save progress on the destination server). Ok, so we know all that. Next I can go on to the examples which I've only tested yet.
You know how mages can only have one mage armor at a time? Well, I had Ice Armor before I transfered, and then when I logged onto the test realm I casted Mage Armor and both spells stayed active. Also, on my Paladin. Before I copied him over, he had devotion aura on (improved from protection tree). When I logged on him afterward, I switched to Sanctity aura and both auras stayed. Also, I did a respeced out of prot to more ret (no imp devotion aura), casted devotion aura and had both buffs still.
One thing is though, if you die, the buffs go away and no more fun. So, it would be in my interest, but its not in my power as i cant, to see if warriors would be able to do a dual stance copy (like berserker stance before copy, battle stance after copy). Or even more wierd, really wierd would be a druids shapeshifted forms (bear before, dire bear after? look out hp counter!). I dont know about these as I havnt tested nor have a druid or warrior. But, very possible.
There might be even more useful advantages to this behavior, but I can't think of them now, and it's not PTR time yet.
From what I know about warriors, and I know a lot, as soon as one stance is activated, the warrior is checked for any other stances, and those stances are deactivated. However, I plan on transferring my warrior within the next month possibly, so I could do a test run for you.

i tried with druid bear form before flight form after, they like, combine, a feathered bear with wings :S u'know, like the skin of the bird pasted on the bear, freaky

I transfered my warrior to another server, the stance bug does not work. having a stance is not a buff, so u cannot have multiple stances active at one time.
