engi helm already obsolete. heroic t11 says hi.
All items currently made my professions will be obsolete. Alchemy trinkets will be worthless for 4.2 raiding. Current blacksmithing epics will be worthless for 4.2 raiding. Insert Tailoring. Insert Leatherworking. Engineering is not alone.
I think the question was leaning more towards "will engineering get upgraded epics like all the other professions do?" If you look at the way you phrased it, every epic is worthless once the next tier of raiding comes out which is a pointless observation. However, tailoring, leatherworking, and blacksmithing always get new epics to make while engineering gets screwed.
OT: Nearly 100%. I would be AMAZED if Blizzard decided to not make engineering worthless again. I will be so happy if they don't make me relive Wrath-engineering.

Hm Off-topic a bit maybe;
What about proffesion perks, any changes? Epic gems = JC only gems are worser than other proffesion perks etc. What happend in WOTLK to that w/e?
1. "Never?" ... Back in TBC, there was an upgrade to the engineering goggles. In WotLK tailors, leatherworkers and blacksmiths got iLvl 345 dropped recipes (which was current tier level, not pre-raid level).
2. There has been LOTS of QQ'ing about craftet trinkets not being upgradable.

What about those other Engineering "gems" that were datamined back during Beta and are currently listed as a search feature in the Auction House? Could these gems not just be added to the current helms to increase our stats to match the entry level raid gear of 4.2?
There are so many frivolous things in this world.
Secondary stats upgraded would be neat...except for the fact that you'd have like 100 less of a primary stat so unless you get about 300-400 additional secondary stats out of a new cogwheel you would need an entirely new helm for it to even remotely compete with a tier 12 piece.
JC Epic gems are awesome in cataclysm, I didn't get your point o_O?
JC's are able to use 3 gems of epic quality which are better than the non-jc-only gems, its gives a total of 81 stats bonus [81int/81str/81agi] etc, being 1 point stronger than all other professions...
I'm not entirely sure, but i remembered hearing that in the newer patches, they would implement better engineering goggles to keep up with the new tiers.
I'm not sure if blizz plans on doing that, but i sure hope they do
I think it is safe to assume that armor crafting professions will be updated in 4.2. With the new raid currency being Living Embers (think Primordial Saronite) in 4.2, I assume that new tailoring, LW, BS patterns will drop from the raid bosses. As for engineering, I will throw a question mark up there as with LK and BC, we did not see any new engineering patterns drop in raids.
