So the monster WILL know where you ended the movement. The invisibility does prevent OAs but doesn't actually aid your stealthiness in any way by RAW, though it may let you hide without superior cover/total concealment depending on how you interpret the timing. This is common to pretty much all ways of stealth moving. As other people have said, it is intended to make it difficult to force the enemy to totally lose track of you with a single action. You could trigger DF, move into concealment (possibly avoiding OAs), and then use some standard action to either move away (still potentially hidden) or to say make an attack with CA (and if that attack involves movement you could then hide again). If disappearing totally is REALLY vital and you needed to use your standard action for something else first, then you'll just have to use an AP. Such is the life of a stealthy character. Other options might include using your standard to use Bluff first, at which point you're already hidden and can then really vanish.</p></blockquote><p></p>
