  Not really, I didn't get much beyond ah and alt levels this go round 
so I don't know the current state of play
  Class raid websites should have some pointer and if eng. is any real use.

  In general that has been all the engineer extras were useful for.
  A bomb useful in this situation, fall damage in that one, but usually 
not anything game changing.
  The glider and boosts may be useful for raids or pvp but usually they 
are short term with long cooldown. I always put fall mitigation on, but 
I rarely hit the button fast enough anyway.
They may even out with other profs, barring failures, but usually they 
have to be managed.

I prefer passives over cooldowns since I mostly miss or waste them and 
hoping for a proc that could fail is a bit fraught.

Here is one from a way back.

note where they nerfed -when- it failed from causing 120% of health loss 
down to 80%.
However boost failure and a warrior charge used to do interesting things 
to the terrain, like avoid it if you wanted to look at things from a 
different perspective.

  Eng. does usually also have some gathering enhancements that while not 
directly profitable can improve the mats income.

  It and blacksmiths are probably the profs that most benefit from
simply selling mats rather than trying to make anything or rely on their 
crafts.

   Imagine if:
   Alchemy - health potion, restores 250,000 health, chance it will take 
200,000 health.
   Enchanting - increases spellpower by 500, chance to stun character 
for 5 seconds.
   Jewelcrafting - gem of doubt, increased dodge by 500, may on occasion 
drop all threat.
   Resurrection : spell: chance to knockback caster and do 200,000 damage.
