Not much this late, not much ever, nothing like other crafts
   at least there are some moderately useful things this expansion
   and at least they don't have high failure rates any more
As you said it was easy to level now because nobody is doing or using 
engineering much   so it is relatively cheap to do.

gathering goggles, nobody is gathering, they are in the low hundreds
bling is always popular for the occasional (free) gifts
anvils, not much since level up engineers make a lot
gnomish knives, a few a week

maybe something must have for raids but haven't looked there and it is 
probably saturated
the occasional scope

Most things are bespoke ' I want this, nobody is online in my guild 
anymore, I have the mats, heres a small tip'
  The thing is anything remotely sellable has a lot of very hungry 
engineers on it.
For engineering for profit.vs.effort you can make an item and wait wait 
wait but for total profit gathering and selling the mats is best or just 
stockpiling mats and hawking services.
  How to cook a galah ( or sell engineering) : put it in a pot with a 
rock, boil for 3 days, then throw the galah away and eat the rock :-)

  Alchemy , yeah, flasks , potions, always some transmute you can do.
For the transmute cooldown do you mean living steel? you can get a 
research recipe that uses 3 spirits no cooldown.
