I take engineering on most of my characters solely for loot-a-rang. It’s a huge QOL toy particularly if you’re a ranged dps/healer.
Nitro and glide cloak are extra bonuses.

All 30ish of my alts are engineers:
- Loot-a-rang
- Great teleports - Northrend, Pandaria, Draenor, Argus, Everlook/Gadgetzan, Zandalar & Kul Tiras, Toshley’s/Area 52. I use these regularly.
- Unlimited cloak-gliders (the worst thing about BFA was actually Ashjra’kamas - ask any engineer)
- Unlimited speed-boosts - if they share CDs with pots, then that’s a nerf, /shrug. Maybe at some point one of the other numerous tinkers will be considered worth using instead of nitro-boosts, too.
- An extra mailbox (not as great now that we have the toy, but still nice)
- More AH access points
- Blingtrons
- Craftable pets and mounts that are occasionally profitable
- Jeeves (bank access)

Nitro boost has been sharing a cooldown with potions since 2014.
Hahaha
I guess I am not losing Engineering in Shadowlands on my 4 Dks after all! 
I thought they either nerfed jumper cables or took them out?
I’ve had Engineering on Jinx here since the day I made him (when we got Goblins.)
I’ve never once even made a pair of those Nitro Boots, much less used then. I guess on a slow pally, I can see their use though – slow movement isn’t a thing for Rogues, what with Sprint, Nightstalker, etc.
I chose the profession, like others, for the Utility aspects: wormhole teleporters, repair hammers, battle-rez (and jumper cables), goggles, mounts, bombs, more AH vendors, tmog phone booths, hunter stable, water skimmers, plus all of the neat toys!
I don’t run keys higher than 15s so I suppose I don’t have a dog in that fight, but my friends that do run them up to 25 have never mentioned anything about needing/requiring Engineering to be successful.
Does blingtron drop anything good?
