I'm starting this post to provide a general location for info on what quest items/rep rewards are available for each armor type/faction, along with general enchant info
WIP
General enchant/special item info-
Random Dungeon Satchels!
at 59, you can only get BC satchels, which means gloves/neck. All of the necks are equal to level 58 BC greens, but with previously nonexistant suffixes (+hit!)
Gloves are again 58 greens, but as above and can take Wrath enchants!
55-58ish you can get cloak/gloves with even slightly worse (but again different and possibly useful) stats, and the cloaks are ilevel 60 so again, wrath 'chants!
Heirloom weapons can only take Pre-BC enchants *new: also can NOT take high end oils/stones!*
Blacksmith belt buckles are no longer usable ("grandfathered" ones do not work)
Blue leg armor kits are still available, and since they can be self-applied, it doesn't matter of your legs are BoP or BoE
Shoulders can take ZG rep enchants. (10stam patches are no longer appliable)
Helm can take Librams (sorry, ZG helm enchants are not; my bad)
NOTE: 10 stam patches can be applied to Engineering Goggles because they're > level 60, but have no level requirement and are not BoP.
Gnomes can use (but not craft, I believe) the 390 engy trinkets since they're BoE currently (another potential patch nerfage, since so many profession trinkets are BoP), along with crafting the cloak tinkers (flexweave underlay, etc)
Most (if not all) engineering items/tinkers have leveled engineering requirements, even if they arn't visible. In other words you can't send a tinker'd item to your too-low-engy-level twink, nor level engy, get your stuff, then drop it.
Professions:
Primary-
Engineering is pretty much the #1 prof. Best helms, awesome trinkets and toys.
Generally people take a gathering prof as #2-
Herbalism-Lifeblood
Mining-Toughness
Skinning-Master of Anatomy
Secondary-
First aid 400 gives access to Heavy Frostweave Bandage
I don't know of any benefits from fishing/cooking.
In terms of other primary profs, to the best of my knowledge, the rewards and/or amount of effort required to achieve them simply arn't worth it; I'd be happy to update this if someone knows otherwise.
Rep Items/sets- I'm not going to list them all here, just mention their sets and what uses they have.
Dungeon 2 sets-MAJOR pain in the butt to get, but nifty if only for novelty. Also, all items are level 60+ as far as I can tell, thus, can take BC enchants. Generally inferior to BC options, however the ability to take Wrath enchants on bears considering. UPDATED 9-7 (all items are ilvl60+ now)
Zandalar sets-quite a lot of work as well, consist of neck+trinket+chest+wrist+belt. Seperate rep rewards of potions and shoulder chants which are awesome. Related trinkets from killing Hakkar are also pretty awesome. Of the sets, only the wrists are of real interest because BC quest rewards are available for all armor types for chest, and the belts are generally inferior to BC quest rewards/BC greens, and can't take blacksmithing buckles.
Argent Dawn-not sets, but various items that are level 60+. Also a pain in the ass to get. Gogo rep grinds!. The superior rewards are possibly worth looking at as well.
Heirloom Items- obviously handy if you can get them, I'll only point you to the resource here. The spellpower weapons may be changing in 3.1; see blog post on main page for more info.
Quest items, if no side listed available to both. Note that I am not listing item sets or Argent Dawn rewards here. Also, I AM listing some BC items that are WORSE(slightly) than their BoE equivalents, simply because it may be hard to GET the BoE items.

Note that Drain Schematics is not available to 59's; for whatever reason the drop required to start the quest will only drop (and be visible to you!) if you are on another quest that requires level 61. See the comments here. Sorry Magrim.
Also, can anyone confirm that this questline is completable? Magrim pointed it out, and while the second two in the series are listed as level 60, the first is only 59, and as my experience at 29 points out, if you can get on a questline at a certain level, you can usually complete it at that same level.
