There is not an ETA as to when a more permanent fix will be implemented, Heavendawn. but there is a workaround which may help:

Q u o t e:
"Cogwheel" causing disconnects or freezes in Instances and Battlegrounds

Though we do not currently have an estimate on when a permanent resolution can be implemented we do have a possible workaround that players can try that has been successful for some. If you disable your tooltips may prevent the freezes/disconnects the Cogwheel is currently causing.

Turn Off Tooltips

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);


Turn On Tooltips

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

We will provide what updates we can as soon as they become available.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There have been many reports of players who experience their game either freezing or disconnecting entirely when interacting with objects that provide a "cogwheel" prompt. This can include such items as the Warlock soul well, Mage portals, feasts, or battleground objectives such as flags (both node and those that are able to be carried).

Our QA team is aware of this issue and investigating. However, we do not have an ETA on a resolution. Hang tight, and keep an eye here for future updates!
