Another thing to look out for is blingtrons.
Though only 1 per day per account get it on your prof leveller for the 
spirits. Not spirits of harmony, fire spirits.

Of course it helps if you have one yourself to feed to the professions, 
but not if you want engineering, chicken and egg.
If in a guild and an engineer announces drops, 4 hour cooldown, it can 
make it easy.

Not so much use now you are well there but I forgot.
Not a lot of use at the lower levels of profs either way.

wowhead says the drop is 2% but that is wrong, biased by not getting 
them if you have max profs

It is more like 30-50%. At least that is what I got, maybe it was buffed.
They could add up to quite a bit if you take a while to finish the profs.
Not much use for powerlevel in a day but at 3-5 levels and 2 professions 
that can kick you over a hump and could be quite a few hundred gold or 
similiar in time gathering mats saved aproaching 600.
They are bop and unique so you cannot stockpile.
And free, may as well use one if it is announced or just there.
  All it takes is to be sure you get it with the right character each day.

It seems a waste to apply it on mining, but you get both profs so no 
-loss- as such.
