Never had that Levitate problem, you can hold down alt and hover your mouse over buffs to see time remaining.

And those timers can show 0:42 (for instance) just before the buff poofs without the :classic: 3 ticks of icon flashing to indicate it's going down. AFAICT the buff timer display desync between client and server has to do with logging/crashing out and logging back in while a buff is active, never had it off by more than a tick in other circumstances. Only a really big deal if you are levitating at high enough altitude to fall to your death or invis someplace where being noticed is certain death. I am pretty sure the logging/crash out and log back in thing also covers the two occasions I can recall of invis dropping without the "you feel yourself starting to appear" emote you get ~ 1 tick before it drops. Worst case appears to be client crash or lockup on zoning where the server thinks you'r there and no doubt is couting down your buffs until it finally stops giving you shitty 1018 errors and lets you log back in.
tl;dr
Always refresh Lev before doing anything where an unexpected drop could kill you.
Never trust Navir, er, I mean Invis.
