I heard they were removing all combat benefits from professions, but to what extent is this? Is alchemy still going to offer a trinket? Engineering with helmet+cogs+belt+cape tinkers? Are BoP or BoE BS weapons coming back? Inscriptioning boas?

Not quite. Ring enchants will be available to all in WoD (and not just limited to Enchanters), JC only gems are removed but then so are BS extra sockets.
Engineering is having the synapse string tinker removed and their new engineering helms will not have any cogwheel sockets (nor meta sockets). For LW/Tailoring/Inscription, the profession limited enchants (bracers, cloak, shoulders) are also being removed.
Gathering professions are not supposed to give bonuses but that's has not been reflected in the Beta.
Alchemy still retains the philosopher's stone (updated for WoD at ilv 620). BS weapons start at 630 and can be upgraded twice to a final level of 655 with the use of crafted BS items (but they require Savage Blood which is obtained from a Barn garrison building or AH).
