-trasmog, blizzard put some heavy limitation in it and only after some time and lot rant on the forums they relaxed some of them, still it's heavy limited like heaven and earth compared to other game "dressing room/tab"
-mounts, those have absolutely 0 customization you are stuck to blizzard model, like it or not, no color change, no cosmetic armor, nothing.
-pets (hunter pets etc), almost same as mounts, if you are an hunter blizzard decide what you can tame and what not plus 0 customization for them, warlock and dk are stuck with the few model blizzard graced them through glyph.
In the end blizzard is always too much restrictive and come out as controlling freak over customization, those are lost chances to implement more collectible in the game and we all know how much peoples love to collect things in wow since vanilla and many keep playing just for it.
What do you think is the reason behind them being so smug about letting the player customize thing around and will that attitude of them ever change?
