Discussion Topic:
Most crafting professions have had specs at some point in time. Some went away and some stuck around. Why are they good and/or why did they go away? Would it be worth bringing any of them back?
Blacksmithing (Armor, Weapon [Macesmith, Axesmith, Swordsmith])  
Tailoring (Mooncloth, Shadoweave, Spellfire)
Leatherworking (Dragonscale, Elemental, Tribal)
Inscription (no spec; proposals?) M: “glyph, gear, frills” each spec has chance to proc additional X item during crafting, with possibly unique gear for “gear” spec
Enchanting (no spec; proposals?) M: “shard, dust” or “recipe” where you have increased chances to proc each type of DE mat; or have reduced mats for “recipe” spec
Jewelcrafting (no spec; proposals?) M: not quite sure; possibly “gem” and “item” specs?
Engineering (Goblin, Gnomish)
Alchemy (Flask, Potion, Xmute) Why are Engi and Alch the only profs with specs remaining? Mining, Herbalism, Skinning -- M: “scavenger, finder” one spec procs more ore/leather/herb; the other procs more ‘rare’ drops (hides, “lotus”, gems)
