I've been preaching this to Alliance for years, but it falls on deaf ears. Bottom line is that they don't care about the FC, they care about leeching honor while watching Family Guy in their mom's basement.

How to counter THEIR forward movement.

Nets from tailoring. awesome. Also ENG has a version.
Fear
Root/Trap
Chill/Slow
Dispel/Purge (remove stuff like hand of freedom and CD's that grant a buff)
etc...

How to make sure YOU keep moving (your tricks)
-------
Nets etc (if that warrior is in a net, he can't hamstring you again.)

LIVING ACTION POTION - they still work, and they're still better than a trinket (1 min CD)

Swiftness potion (run speed, combine with racials/class abilities, and a BG power-up (boots) and you're basically turbocharged for the entire length of a WSG field

Lesser Flask of Resilience (+50 Resil 1 hr, standard flask rules) If you're alive, you can be helpful. If you're dead, you can't be helpful. It really is that simple.

-------------------

That said, when in doubt KILL THE ENEMY FC. Don't chase the random mage. Chase. If you do nothing but chase the enemy flag carrier, not only will you get oodles of honor (assuming you don't just get your ass handed to you), you'll be helping your team FAR FAR more than being one of the uninformed morons in the middle who are randomly selecting whichever target happens to run close enough to them. (And yes, that's a common Alliance strat. It's called lazy strat. Report these people and they get replaced. If you choose to not report afkers or middle-morons, then it's your own fault when you lose. Blizz gives you the tools, but it's up to you to actually click the damn button.)
