ORIGINAL TEXT:

Repeat

Instant
Copy target activated or triggered ability. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Comments:

Like Twincast, but for activated and triggered abilities instead of spells.

Only costs because the spell that counters activated and triggered abilities (namely, Stifle) only costs (preserving the same copy/counter cost equivalence that exists between Twincast and Counterspell).

Deja Vu could be an alternate name for the spell.

Not Retard cool, but cool nonetheless.

Also, does the wording on this work?  Let's say you copy the CIP trigger of a Rogue Elephant, does the controller have to sac two Forests?

You could copy the trigger, and you would control the trigger... but the real question is can you be instructed to "sacrifice" something you don't control? 

Using Exsisting Cards:  Let's say I cast Rogue Elephant and after he resolves, but before the trigger resolves - you tap Preacher/Seasinger/Old Man of the sea (with rancor?) and gain control of Rogue Elephant at instant speed.  The trigger is still on the stack, and further more, that trigger doesn't stipulate "if you control Rogue Elephant ..."  However again, the question is can you choose not to sacrifice the forest in order to sac your opponent's newly aquired elephant?

Always felt there was room for good flavor text on this ability, but nothing ever jumped out at me.

You can't sacrifice cards you don't control.
