for that matter, technically, none of the engineer mounts would be possible without the help of a blacksmith. If you wanted to think real world about it.
But, they REALLY do need to spread the love around with what all the other professions can make and share/sell. I mean, as a leatherworker, every MONTH I can make a leather or mail 553 ilvl belt or pants, whoopie. Or leg enchants, now that, that is exciting, and SOOOO visible , too.
BS, you have the BC era weapons they made a pain in the ass to make, and I only like the 1H mace, Dragonstrike, Reborn, (which it SUX SUX SUX is a caster weapon) and the 2H sword, Lionheart Executioner, Reborn.
Enchanting has what, 2 pets, weapon glows, that is about it. I mean, a bunch of mandatory stuff.
Same as scribes, who can make a few niche weapons and off hands.
But, EVERYONE can have and use a pet or mount, and so few professions can make them.

Maybe if they didn't give all the professions mounts and pets to make, but instead require:
Leather saddle from LW
Armor plates from BS
Jeweled eyes from JC
Blueprint pattern from a scribe
'Flying incantation' from an enchanter
Turbo diesel from alchemy
Seat belt from tailoring (a stretch, I know, but it was all I could come up with)
That way, they could spread the love around to other profs, and give everybody a way to contribute, and get rid of the useless vendor gold sink.
