How common are teleport traps in newer WAD's??

I remember around 2010-ish that all of the best WAD'S used them incessantly to my disdain. Is this still a common trend? I haven't played a good deal of Doom in a while and don't really have the time to trough through maps, but I'm pretty curious.

Yes, a trend? I don't know, but a common thing, it is. Also instapop traps, fastpop, slowpop, popcorn, k-pop, pop ups, the Pope, etc. 

Modern high-profile wads are certainly trying really hard to learn from their predecessor's flaws. Creation of these wads often involves intensive playtesting and tweaking anything that gets pointed out as negative. The resulting wads tend to mix various kinds of gameplay setups in decently balanced ways. So teleport traps will be present in some maps, but you can be sure that high effort had been put to minimize anything negative about them, and excessive usage would have counted as negative.

More than ever.

Teleport traps are the ones tha the player gets teleported or the monsters? (or both?)

Usually the monsters.

i was thinking the complete opposite :D

Off the top of my head, Scythe2 was pretty liberal/egregious with them. I liked Speed of Doom for being a lot better about it.

Well... Look at the release date...

Or maybe because teleport traps are kind of a pain to set up, especially with multiple destinations.

Making their use even more perplexing...lol
