I agree with Thundorn on this matter to be honest, i'd consider a gank a fight where the odds are so stacked against you the liklihood of coming out on top is a futile venture.
I'd say everyone ganks at some time or another, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. A win is a win, however i think if you gank to acheive the win (anything above equal terms, 1vs1 - 2vs2 etc, you kinda lose all bragging rights)
It all depends on who im fighting and what kind of mood im in as to whether i myself gank. If i know the villain my group wants to attack, i'll hang back (alot of villains now :P). However if its a villain i don't like that much i'll take much pleasure in joining in on the action :P
Also depends on mood, if i think the group can handle it, i'll hang back and watch the fireworks, but if im just in an annoyed mood (if the enemies religiously say you suck after getting ganked), there is no force on heaven nor earth that could stop me from attacking relentlessly in any circumstances i could to win.
Now heres one, if your not a stalker or have no invisibilty powers, can you still stalk?
I think alot of players forget that other people only can see infront of them and slightly to the side, i know on my blaster i have followed a enemy, ducking behind trash canisters and hiding behind walls until a situation is favouring me (MM's use their minions to attack something, thus dropping bodyguard.
Would that be considered ganking or tactics?

That's tactics - you're waiting for the enemy to make a mistake, ro let his or her guard down.
Ganking would be attacking the MM with enough numbers so that their bodyguard mode didn't make a difference, and they were overwhelmed.
