It sounds like they're asking if it's viable to run to an area with a bunch of aggro and use Shadowmeld to drop it, similar to what people do today in Mythics, to which the answer is "no," because, in Classic, Shadowmeld doesn't work in combat.

OK. The best options I can think of off the top of my head for most classes would be to have the party storm to where they need to and then die and use soul stones to at least get a rezzer back who could rez the party or have a Paladin do a Divine Intervention on a rezzer.

A Hunter could Feign Death and if I recall correctly a Night Elf Hunter can actually somewhat use ShadowMeld in PVP combat by first Feigning Death and then ShadowMelding. I remember doing this periodically in BattleGrounds where I could Feign Death and then the enemy couldn't target my "dead body" because I Shadowmelded and they would have to come close & AoE to get me. Sometimes it seemed like in the heat of group battles people may have assumed I died and then quickly released... There may also be some options with Disengage, Freezing Trap, and ShadowMelding but I can't remember for sure...
