There is a subtlety that I didn't mention, so the answer to 'can you travel faster than the speed of light with a wormhole? is...Yes and no, it depends on the frame of reference. No, from your point of reference you are travelling at a pretty slow speed comparitively, but to an outside observer, Yes, you got from point A to point B in an amount of time T, which with wormholes can result in a velocity greater than light.
You're right that it's cheating, but from what I've seen of the theories, that's the only way to do it, whatever your method.
The other problem with wormholes is that your image wouldn't move between point, it would dissappear, and then reappear.
I was only trying to demonstrate that there are many ways of achieving the effect, but there are subtleties I failed to mention. Hope that's been cleared up...
