On MMO-Champion they just released a bunch of stuff on craftable epics in Cata. I'm excited! They're going to allow Engineers to socket their goggles with cogwheels and hydraulic pumps!

It looks like the official news are calming down, it can only mean one thing: We're back to datamining!

Epic crafted items in Cataclysm - Updated
The first batch of crafted epic items was released when the NDA was lifted, due to some technical issues it was ... difficult to get the new ones. This is now fixed and I should have a couple of interesting previews for you in the next few days. (or you can spoil my fun and lurk on the latest additions but not everything is listed there)

Alchemy
Apparently, Alchemists will finally get another epic stone in Cataclysm. That's also where you realize how useful Mastery Bonus is, the item is just great for everyone.

Blacksmithing
Blacksmith get all the happy-fun-stuff again and will create the weapons that a lot of people will use when they start raiding. Don't expect them to be easy to craft.

Engineering
All 3 types of ranged weapons are craftable and your epic helms ... are actually even more epic than we thought in the first place, they are socketable with Cogwheels and Hydraulic Pumps, engineer-only gems.

I don't see how this makes engineering better... other than the goggles will be slightly more choice based. You can make them and decide what stats you'd like in those slots. Overall though the stats WITH the "gems" in will likely be comparable to the first tier of raiding. Now if we could give our trinkets an additional cog socket that would be amazing.

this. likely again they will be BoP and worthless to non-engineers. Wish they gave engineers better stuff to SELL.

It could go that way with the goggles... But they could also "re-release" patterns for higher iLevel goggles like they did in TBC.
 
Lol this is kind of awesome... I hope it makes it into the expansion.
