Okay, in BC, there were various BoP items that crafters could make. Weaponsmiths (depending on flavor) got things like Stormherald and so forth, there was the 3-piece epic Tailoring set (which Blizzard has since said they made too powerful) and so forth.
Apparently, Blizzard has decided to not have anything like this in Wrath. That is, most things in Blacksmithing will be BoE instead of BoP. There will be no uber-weapons like Stormherald or the like.
At least until they change their minds a few months down the road.
This, however, is causing lots of people on the forums to shit themselves in fury. Because it's "not fair" that the top of the line stuff that they can make should be BoE. Please note, that this is the same thing Engineers said about the crafted motorcycles we can make, and we were basically told to suck it up.
And see, you're looking at the good side of it. You won't have to skill up Blacksmithing on every toon that you want to have, say, the Tempered Titansteel Treads (http://thottbot.com/wotlk/i41392).
Good lord. I just looked at those stats. Blacksmiths have no cause to bitch about missing BoPs when they have BoEs like that.

Ah!
Am thinking of making my DK a smith (on Area 52 Horde).
I'd love to be able to share top end stuff with my pally!
