Basically, if you don't care about being a crafter (and you can get the items off a crafter that did care), here's what benefits you can get out of Reputation, excluding discounts:
All Alliance/Horde Factions:
(Exalted): Be able to purchase their mounts. Strictly a visual benefit.
Best done with repeatable Runecloth turnins
Argent Dawn:
(Revered): +5 Resistance to a shoulder item "enchant", resistance of your choice.
(Exalted): +5 All Resistances to a shoulder item "enchant".
Best done simply by playing in Scholomance and Stratholme. Worry about those Dungeons, their quests and their items, let the rep come as a side benefit.
Zandalar:
(Each tier): an amulet for your class (each tier upgrades it)
(Friendly): Bracers for your class, and allows you to get the "ZG Enchant" for your class
(Honored): Uh ... something for your class. I'm blanking out here.
(Revered): Cheastpiece for your class.
Gotten simply by raiding Zul'Gurub. Let it come to you as it does, you can replace the Friendly/Honored items with comparable blues, the Revered with comparable epics.
Cenarion Circle:
Pretty much the same as Zandalar, only it's Ahn'Qiraj instead of Zul'Gurub. There's also more generic rewards, of which you pick one at each level of rep. But these require massive farming/questing pretty much (for Badges, another requirement). You may also get reputation through outside quests.
Brood of Nozdormu:
Not completely sure. Some rep from AQ20, lots of rep from AQ40. Recieve Signet Rings that improve as your rep improves, from Neutral to Exalted (they start at Hated).
Hydraxian Waterlords:
(Honored): 2 Rings with Fire Resistance and good overall stats (melee and caster based)
Gotten simply through playing MC. Again, don't worry about the rep worry about the other reasons you are there.
You can get away with completely ignoring rep, once you achieve Timbermaw Unfriendly. The rest is all crafts (that others can make for you) or items that, while good, are still replaceable. If the rep game bothers you, just don't play it :)

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
