Water Walking

How exactly is water walking supposed to work when it comes to falling long distances? I like the idea of going splat when you have water walking on and jump off a cliff into the water, but at some point I heard this no longer happens and you simply fall into the water like normal.
Half the time I fall into the water and still have my water walking buff active and am able to jump back to the surface, but the other half the time I jump and go splat on the water and die.
I know that to be safe I should just stop jumping off stuff when I have water walking on, but I'm confused as to how it decides when to splat you. I've had a few awkward moments in Azjol Nerub and Utgarde Pinacle as well as a few other places due to the splat factor. Can any of my fellow shamans shed some light on this for me?

im not sure, im just guessing, but i assume they have a safety mechanism installed? like
if you have WW on and u have fallen more than x feet, then fall thru water.
if you have WW on and u have fallen less than x feet, then land on water.
i havnt tried... i dont plan to ._.

appearitly if you look down and start running (as you would while trying to dive while walking on the water's surface) then you'll "splash" instead of "splat"

Mostly this just happens when I'm leaving Utgarde Pinnacle or jumping down the hole in Azjol Nerub. Cast WW and jump. Half the time I splash and the other half the time I splat. I know I'm falling the same distance every time because it's always the same jumps. I've never tried it in PvP. I know I could just not use WW before a jump, but I always want to see if I'll splash or not.
On my way out of a Utgarde Pinnacle pug last night I put WW on the entire party before we started doing the exit jumps. We all survived the first fall and still had WW on, but 3 of us died on the second fall. the 2 that lived still had WW on.
Also happens jumping off the Inn in Booty Bay. Sometimes I splash and sometimes I splat.

just remember to always look down at whatever you're jumping off of... I've never had problems with deaths to WW
