And tomes for respec. Also useful for engineer gear swaps from bank.
But one hour (??) cooldown.

The devs do try for balance, everything is rock-paper scissors, but they 
always seem to be having an off day by the time the get around to the 
end of the list, engineering, the thing they just can't bring themselves 
to care much about :-)

I am just sour grapes and trauma shock about wow engineering, my first 
char was a human male engineer warrior miner. In a virtual world where 
you can be anything you imagine I found I had zero imagination :-)
It isn't like you can even apply anything to decrease the obvious 
failure rate.
So once that was at max level I decided to let my imagination run wild.
Human male blacksmith miner, deathknight, see, really thinking outside 
the box.

I wasn't thinking balance and complementary professions that early on.
