Ok im not 100% sure how its really working but on wotlk classic right now the buff disappears, atleast visually.
The buff has an absorb aura that absorbs 1000 damage. So the aura disappearing happens when the shield is broken. The aura itself has proc flags so when being hit, the proc triggers a rage stack. However, you can skip the stacking up to 5 when you break the absorb aura with strong hits.
Additionally there are two serverside spells involved. One is most likely for rooting the creature in place, the other one is a periodic dummy serverside aura which might be handling the emotes.
