Only thing I really consider consider exploiting is lag macros/movement tricks/ability tossing/LoS topping. The other things that are working not as intended are just bugs.

According to WoWwiki abusing ingame bugs is also exploiting (bug exploit).

Hmmm IDk, Things that were bugged or you had to abuse a bug to get were exploits and things that weren't were not. Example: Enti's was bugged and did way too much damage: bug 450 professions: You had to grind to 450 herby to get that wtf hot and it was roughly as powerful entis..

On my 80 warrior, I frown upon being stun locked until death by a rogue far better geared than me, and easily able to whoop my ass regardless, due to the fact I have 0 resil. Stun locks must be exploiting, yeah? Because from what I can tell from forum posts, I'm not alone in my frowning upon it.
Also, Llare is completely correct. Twinking is, in it's purest essence, an exploit. Blizz certainly didn't, as you say, go into a meeting one day and say, 'Hey, let's let some low level people get enchants that they normally would not have until 60 so they can go around owning newbies in the BGs!' 'Great Idea, Bob!'
So, when you play a twink, (which, considering this is a twinking blog, I would assume you do) why complain about people using exploits when you, knowingly or unknowingly, are using them yourself?
Just my two copper on the subject.

I'll chime in whenever the fishing stuff comes up.
the poles once obtained will be at the same lvl of OPness as enti's imo. Something should be done about this. but with most of all the problems blizz won't fix it until it actually becomes a problem unfortunately.
the hat I think they should just leave as is.

You cant define if something is legit or not by just considering whether its easy to get or if its too OP, you have to consider both.
I think everyone can agree that entis was in no way legit, despite being easy to obtain, it broke the bracket. However leg armours and librams were also easy to obtain, however not many people would argue against them, atleast not very strongly.
If something breaks the bracket, either by making one class hideously OP (eg entis) or by making a huge rift between those with an item and those without (eg WBFH) i would consider them to not be legit.

1. Bug exploit has the word 'bug' in it zimt 
2. Enti's never broke the bracket, I never once lost to a warrior using it on my rogue, though I never fought anyone who had it on a character on than that and hunter lol.
3.New fishing hat has to go, its not a big buff, but you are creating a serious gap between twinks who are new and don't have anything in their headslot as of yet.
