Did you even read the patch notes about the DE feature when it was implemented?? They specifically put it in because you can't trade the shards that were usually distributed after a dungeon run. Having it work for BoEs on the other hand is pointless and unneeded.
Here's a link with a blue post from Bornakk in it:

Question for all Chaos orb users here:
Which one of you will craft me something and wouldn't charge for orb? Ha? Who will give me free orb?
I had to work my ass off to get high lvl enchanting so i could DE those Cata greens and blues and now you get to benefit from it. Let me benefit from your orbs.
I stick to the thought that maelstroms should be BoP like orbs or orbs should be DEable to maelstroms.
I feel your pain here when it comes to losing a DE roll on an item to someone who probably isn't an Enchanter. I've always wanted something implemented where either I had a better chance at rolling a higher number, or disabling the option for other players to DE. But, if you think about this, the Enchanters would sell those materials for a large amount of money, in turn equaling it to be unfair.
But this topic has probably been on the talk since Enchanting came out, so it's a little late on that wagon to try and change it.
Keep it enabled (enchanter myself) saves time.
What bothers me is seeing people STUPIDLY pick disenchant
Like when a 2h axe that vendors for 31G drops , and they pick Disenchant (And hello? The heavenly shard goes for like 15g on AH.... WTF)
The option itself is great, though I do think that only Enchanters should get it. And no, I don't have the profession myself. But if there's a mining node or herb and I'm in the party people don't magically gain the ability to mine or herb them when they don't have the appropriate skill.
Exactly. They give you the loot to DE, you DE it and then what do you do? Ask for rolls, etc. then handing the shards out and whatever. It takes more time than just instantly doing it.
It is what people have been doing even before the feature was implemented. Take un-rolled for loot, give it to an enchanter to DE and they roll on the enchanting stuff. It just makes it more convenient and less time consuming but its still the same thing.

It also saves enchanters time. They don't have to sit there DE-ing and having people roll and then distributing all those shards or whatever at the end of dungeons.
Personally i don't like it as my main is an enchanter. Herbalists/miners/skinners never need to have everyone roll on something they spent time and effort to level up. Annoys me that i spent my time and effort to level up my enchanting and yet anyone in a dungeon can benefit from my effort and time. Giving the enchanter the option to turn the option on/off would be much much better imo.
I don't understand why so many people are against allowing Enchanters the option to have the roll enabled or disabled. I don't mind the feature, I do mind that the choice for every enchanter is made for them, regardless.
