Inscription requires herbs for its recipes,

In addition, it is now cheaper for Tailors to

These existed before WotLK, but there is a
much wider selection of them available compared to BC.
Dragon’s eye gems are used to craft
Jewelcrafter-only BoP gems. There’s an entire range of these gems, which have many different stats. You can have 3 of these in your gear at any one time. Examples:

This passive ability is learned after
?? Ru n ed Dr ago n ‘ s Ey e: 39 Spell
completing the quest ‘Gem Perfection’ , which can be gotten in any of the starting towns in Northrend. The quest simply requires you to hand over 2 Huge Citrines, Dark Jades and Shadow Crystals. The skill gives you a chance to end up with a perfect gem when crafting uncommon gems. Perfect gems have slightly better stats than their normal counterparts. Its a decent skill, but only for as long as uncommon gems are useful. Perhaps a high level of Gem Perfection for rare and epic gems can eventually be learned.
Power
?? Br igh t Dr a go n’ s Ey e: 68 Attack
Power
?? So li d Dr a go n’ s E y e: 51 Stamina
These even outshine their epic
counterparts in WotLK, which provide 23 Spell Power, 40 Attack Power and 30 stamina respectively. A downside to such self-only gems is that they become worth less, relatively, as you gain access to better regular gems. However, Blizzard has decided to upgrade the Gem’s stat bonuses when they made regular epic gems available.

Jewelcrafting dailies reward you with
tokens. These tokens can be used to buy various designs as well as Dragon’s Eye raw gems.

These potions are bind on pickup, and as
such only usable by an alchemist. As the name implies, they have endless charges. They don’t restore nearly as much health and mana as other potions, but they are usable in arenas.
Changes
Alchemy
P o tio n Sic kne ss
This is a significant change for alchemists.
Players can only use one potion in any specific fight. In BC, raiders (especially healers) chugged potions every time the cooldown was up. This change will reduce consumable costs for most raiders, but it has a negative on the income of alchemists. (much like the elixir changes and, later, the availability of flasks did in BC)

PROFESSIONS
While recipes did drop in Ulduar and
Crusader’s Coliseum, the ones added in patch 3.3 are obtained through the Argent Verdict Quartermaster. They require a given repuation level and a Primordial Saronite each to purchase.
Changes To A ll
D aily profession quests
In WotLK, many of the harder to obtain
Gathering Profession Buffs
new profession recipes can be obtained through profession specific dailies. These dailies award you with tokens, which can be used to purchase a recipe of choice.
Each gathering profession received a self-
only buff. These are the following:
?? Her ba lis m: Heal yourself for 3600
damage over 5 seconds. Cooldown 3 minutes. The amount healed is in creased based on your maximum health.
Inspect
Other players can use inspect to find out
which recipes someone has. While this won’t make the ‘can you make X?’ tells go away, its still a convenient little change.
?? M ini ng: Stamina is increased by 60
?? Ski nn in g: Critical Strike chance is
increased by 40
All of these buffs have several ranks, and
they are automatically gained as you increase the related gathering skill. The values shown above are for gathering skills of 450.
More recipes from more sources
Blizzard has mentioned they wish to make
recipe drops more prominent on reputation quartermasters in WotLK. They also want to include more recipes in raids and instances.

Every class has its resource system in the
form of mana, energy or rage. Death Knights have runes. This is the first class with a customizable resource system, which may take some getting used to when you first play the class. You have six runes active at most, two each of Blood, Unholy and Frost. While runes are active, you can use the skills that require them. Runes will recharge after 10 seconds, which limits the amount of abilities you can use in a given timespan.

Death Knights have several summon spells
at their disposal, some of them granted through talents. A Death Knight’s summons provide an extra source of damage. Four summons are available:

A

somewhat similar to the Warrior. Both are plate wearing melee classes capable of fulfilling a tanking or DPS role. Both classes also have stances (called Presences for the DK). Unlike Warriors, none of the Death Knight’s abilities are tied to a specific presence.
DPS
All talent trees may be meant to be suitable
for tanking, but they are also good for DPS. Thats not to say you can perform both roles optimally with one spec. Tanking and DPSing still require decidedly different builds.

One of Blizzards goals for this expansion is

While emblems can’t directly be sold, you
can buy epic gems with them, which in turn can be sold. Note that cut gems of certain types (Strength or Spell power, for instance) sell for more than raw ones. You can also purchase Runed Orbs and Crusader Orbs, which are used in crafted items. Gems generally net the most profit, however. Make sure to check prices on your realm before deciding what to sell. Should you have excess Emblems of Frost, then turning them into Primordial Saronite and selling that is a good moneymaker.
