There were a lot of profession changes in the latest LK beta build (8962). You've already seen what Inscription (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/18/the-state-of-inscription/) got, and if you're anything like me, you've salivated over the new Engineered motorcycles (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/18/motorcycles-finally-implemented-in-the-wrath-beta/). But what else in this build is particularly interesting, for the other professions?
Tailoring got some new flying carpets (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?search=carpet) added, though I'm pretty sure the Ebonweave/Mooncloth/Spellfire are just cosmetic variants. No word yet on what they look like.
Leatherworking got a ton of new BoE epics and blues. It looks like they're really trying to make it profitable to be a leatherworker, which will be nice to see.
Each of the armor-crafting professions (tailoring, LW, blacksmithing) got some high-stamina frost-resist sets. Previously, similar (and similarly-named) sets were used for the Sapphiron fight in the old Naxxramas; I wonder if something similar will be going on in the new Naxx. I hope not, because kitting out your whole raid for one fight is an annoying gimmick.
A few of the professions got recipes specifically to help them discover more recipes, like Northrend Alchemy Research (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=60893) and Northrend Inscription Research (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=61177). An interesting approach to making the discovery system less frustrating.
A new epic fishing pole (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=44050)! Still not quite as much +fishing as the Arcanite Fishing Pole (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=19970), but nice for those who have trouble winning the contest, and the underwater breathing will be convenient.
There are also a bunch of new enchants and elixirs, but it's just your typical +AP, +crit, +int, etc.; hardly fascinating. I'm particularly excited about all the stuff LW is getting. That skill needed some love. See MMO-Champion (http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=16783.0) for full listings of all the recipes; there's just too much for me to list here.
