Bubble Hearth refers to a paladin who escapes PvP, or any other type of combat, by using 
[Divine Shield] and then their 
[Hearthstone] — generally viewed as a cowardly act and those who use it often mocked for doing so.
Of course, this tactic must be used when necessary, such as when a roaming paladin finds himself unfairly situated against multiple foes and does not stand any chance of emerging victorious. This is more of a smart move than a cowardly one. It would even be possible to say that the individuals attacking the paladin are cowardly for only taking him/her on when en masse.
Currently, the only current ways to stop this after the paladin has cast Divine Shield is the 
[Mass Dispel] spell from a priest of level 70 or higher or a warrior's 
[Shattering Throw] ability or of course, High Overlord Saurfang's cleave.
If the player equips an 
[Argent War Horn] and uses it, a paladin from the Argent Dawn will appear, fight for 30 seconds, and then despawn by the humorous method of Bubble Hearthing.
Also, a fortune by Sayge tells: "Divine Shields and Hearthstones do not make a hero heroic."
There is even a song made by players relating to this act:
I'm a little paladin, short and stout. Here's my hammer and here's my trusty mount. When I get in trouble I scream and shout, then I bubble and hearthstone out!
It is generally agreed that the transportation of Dalaran to Northrend was the most epic Bubble Hearth in Warcraft history.
Cataclysm
Starting with Patch 4.0.1, the duration of Divine Shield was reduced to 8 seconds, whereas the casting time of Hearthstone remains at its previous duration of 10 seconds, making the Bubble Hearth impossible.
However, there remains a way to use this tactic: by wearing 4 pieces of the Tier 7 Protection Set, you can negate the nerf and still make a glorious exit.
Another alternative was brought to paladins by the Light's mighty allies, the noble Draenei. With the Archaeology we are able to discover 
[The Last Relic of Argus], which has 5 seconds cast, giving paladins once every 12 hours a new, random Bubble-Hearth.
As well, the 10-second cast time for the 
[Hellscream's Reach Tabard] is shortened by haste. Taking into account the global cooldown, a paladin needs 43.75% haste to bubble hearth with the tabard. This is achievable by item level 346 for a holy paladin whose talent cooldowns are up.
Lesser bubble hearth
In PvE or when facing only non-caster opponents, hearthing from combat does not require that the shield used be undispellable, only that it absorb as much damage as can be dealt in the time it takes to hearth. Thus, for example, a priest can sometimes "bubble hearth" using 
[Power Word: Shield].
