Looks like Crafting patterns and Vicious Bloodstone remain unchanged across seasons. I didn’t save any bloodstone (didn’t have any socket in S1 either) and I didn’t get the pattern in S1 just in-case I had to buy everything back in S2.
I guess it is safe to get all the patterns and hold some bloodstones across seasons. They’re 3k gold now.
Edit:
Recraft your socketed items
Well that’s good. If they had changed them that would have been very, very frustrating.
I recrafted my Eng helm/bracers with the free epic crafting items. But if you have crafted ring with sockets you can keep the gems.
That’s better than having to regrind a whole crafted set.
Vicious bloodstones price stays low that way.
But lucrative for me. I loved selling Bloodstones for 15K gold.
I wish S2 brought a new stone
Prices will go back up. New stones might have mean new recipes. That’s a nightmare scenario. 
I can’t imagine too many people banked stones, so new or old stone it will all be the same.
I didn’t use the sockets in S1, was too busy making gold with them, I might get some in S2.
I think I have 5 toons with full sockets. 
This expansion has been costly.
