I posted this over in the mage forum, but figure a copy of the list belongs here as well. If someone else would like to add a tanking/melee/healing comparison, feel free to steal my list for casters to make it complete:

3.2 Profession advantages for raiding -- casters:
* Tailoring - 73.75 spellpower, -23 haste - (Assumes 1/4 uptime for lightweave proc, 295 spellpower for 15s out of 60s)
* Jewelcrafting - 48 spellpower - (3x 39sp instead of 3x 23sp)
* Alchemy - 47 spellpower - (172sp flask w/ mixology vs 125 baseline)
* Blacksmithing - 46 spellpower - (2x 23sp epic gems in extra sockets)
* Enchanting - 46 spellpower - (23sp x 2 rings)
* Inscription - 46 spellpower - (70sp vs 24sp on epic Sons inscription)
* Leatherworking - 46 spellpower - (76sp fur lining - 30sp enchant)
* Engineering - 45 haste, -1 spellpower - (+27sp -23haste on cloak, -28sp +68haste on gloves -- also gets a burst of speed basically once per boss fight when using Icewalker instead of runspeed, which could come in minor handy for raiding)
* Skinning - 40 crit
* Mining - 60 stamina
* Herbalism - 3600 healing over 5 seconds

Am I missing something, or is the change to the Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket actually a nerf to its DPS?

Right, but the old cooldown was 45 seconds and the new one is 60 seconds. Hopefully that's incorrect and it's still 45 seconds.

A much larger sample size of titanium ore prospecting:

141 Stacks
564 Prospects
2820 Ore

Epic Gems: 130
Rare Gems: 148
Uncommon: 846
Powder: 417

Chance per stack of ore:
Epic: .92
Rare: 1.05
Uncommon: 6.00
Powder: 2.95

I would put forth that the actual values are as follows:
Epic: 1
Rare: 1
Uncommon: 6
Powder: 3



Details:
  • Epic
  • Rare
  • Uncommon
  • Green
  • 24
  • 25
  • 141
  • Blue
  • 19
  • 19
  • 155
  • Purple
  • 26
  • 21
  • 148
  • Red
  • 18
  • 27
  • 119
  • Orange
  • 21
  • 23
  • 164
  • Yellow
  • 22
  • 33
  • 119
Pardon the poor formating as I don't know how to make tables properly.

Whups, mispost.

Anyway, currently glyphs are still selling slowly but steadily. Haven't noticed any diminished demand - I regularly use addons to make and put up all glyphs that are worth it, and usually have around 500 glyphs up at a time.

Were you able to turn in the titanium powder and find the results of that turnin/quest?

It's one JC token, see: Titanium Powder.

Is there a cooldown for the transmutes?

Currently, there is no cooldown for the transmutes. Will there be? Who knows. Logical arguments cut both ways on this.

As for gem cuts, I got 71 doing a rough pass at the list. That's ~355 tokens for those of you keeping score to get all the cuts. Now, some are terrible and I think a lot of us stopped buying patterns long ago before getting a complete set; but that's the rundown.

Looks like I will be able to buy 15-20 patterns at release of 3.2, which I'm guessing will cover most of the popular cuts.

If you're limited in how many cuts you can buy, the money will be made on the more obscure cuts. Like Fractured. Bold, Runed, etc are gonna be bought by a million people and the undercutting on them will be insane.

Exactly. I made a KILLING on the Flashing cut before anyone else picked it up. Seems like every JC made the mistake of picking up Solid and trying to make cash off that. I'm guessing the "premium" cuts everyone is going to pick up will be:

Runed
Bold
Delicate
Fractured
Rigid

I'll be shooting for:

Flashing
Mystic
Glowing
Shifting

Contingent on what I see at the AH, of course.

Odd I counted those as all prime cuts. Also as said before it heavily depends on your server and it's JCs. The best advice is to not spend all your tokens on the first day and to see where the market has deficients and fill them.
