Is it my PC or my connection?

I have been using the same PC for over 7 months to play WoW and never had an issue with DC's until about a month now. I know the game itself has been having issues but even on days where other raid members aren't disconnecting i get booted out the game. Its seems to happen when some type of encounter mechanic activates for instance when the flame wall appears on sartharion or when heroism is used etc. The game just locks up and i get booted then it takes several tries to get back in before it lets me back on. I don't get booted from vent but i sometimes get vent lag also.

Is there a way to determine if its something wrong with my connection or if its something wrong with my PC performance and not being able to process the graphics. Remember nothing has changed as far as hardware with my PC its the same as when i used to play with no issues at all.

Please any advice will be appreciated.
