[Xanthix]

Those alchemy specializations sadden me. Basically, they aren't making any uniqueness to the profession by becoming specialized, but just giving you a chance to get more? That's just pointless. Why can't it be like every other profession where the specializations give you specific recipes?

It's too early to guess on this. There could easily be recipes only avilable to certain specializations of alchemists, but their linkage to the specializations is not showing up in the data-mined data.

As another note, why doesn't alchemy or enchanting get you a trinket or item that only that profession can use? (Philosopher's stone doesn't count:P)

Enchanting gives you the Smoking Heart of the Mountain, which is a great trinket for feral druids.
