Oh yes, backstab. How could I forget. NPC backstab delay is 10 seconds.
This is from Al'Kabor, but I highly doubt SOE changed the delay:

Note that if an NPC backstabs the front of you, it will display in the log as a normal hit, which is important to know when parsing for round sizes of rogue NPCs. In those logs I was collecting min/max hit and max hp data, so it involved sitting with my back turned to NPCs which allowed for a good backstab grep.
