I guess my 'exploiters mind' just isn't up to snuff. ;) I wonder if this is the start of the end for dual items, or if Blizz is just rethinking them (Say an enchant sticks to the form it was given?). It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

The enchant carring over was broken. Whenever you transformed the item, it would permantly loose whatever enchant had been placed on it; even if you transformed it back to the previous form. The problem with Rhok'delar (bow) and Lok'delar (staff) are that the two forms it takes go into different equipment use slots (2-handed melee or ranged weapon slot). The other items that have the transform characteristic retain their same equipment usage slot as well as their current base weapon type; Anathema/Benediction (staff) and Thunderstrike/Shadowstrike (polearm). So an enchant that is applied to one of these would still only get used in the same manner as when equiping the item in its alternate form. See the note just prior to the one you first listed.
Quote:- Anathema, Benediction, Thunderstrike, and Shadowstrike will now
remember the enchantments and durability data they possessed when
they transform.
- The ability to transform Rhok'delar and Lok'delar has been removed,
but you can talk to Vartrus the Ancient to receive the item you
currently don't possess.
