I was always too cheap to use explosives, so they were never really a drawcard. But there are advantages...

Khorium Destroyer is just about the best ranged weapon pre-raiding or arenas.

The epic goggles, albiet class/spec dependant. But for a BM hunter, nothing beats the massive AEP rating for the Surestrike Goggles v2.0. NOTHING. Plus you get the built in zoom & able to see the invisible gas clouds in shadowmoon/netherstorm.

Mote extractor - always bring one to the gnome boss in steamvaults for free primal life, and I've already found one spot in zangermarsh that I've consistantly seen gas clouds when passing by.

Gnomish Poultryiser - that is, if it worked inside arenas. It's only got a 5 min cooldown, so why not?

Gnomish Invulnerability Belt - at least this works in arenas. Usually. Good against rogues or to prevent mangling.

XXX reflectors. Extra resist you can't normally get in trinket slots, even if they won't reflect well in outland.

Telporters - fast way to get around to Tanaris for Caverns of Time or Area 52 for Tempest Keep - and the BC malfunctions are something you WANT to happen for once.

Gnomish cloaking device - perfect way to slip away after a badly positioned feign death.

Jumper cables XL speak for themselves - particulary handy when grouping with a druid healer and someone falls over.

Net-o-matic Projector - extra crowd control. The backfire is even helpful to get you in close to a runner, fast!

Rocket Boots Xtreme: Epic flying mount speed for several seconds. On foot. Followed by a whirlwind thingy at the end that deals damage and knocking people off mounts. Also great for long distance cliff-jumping!

Parachute cloak - good for insurance against telporter malfunctions when taking the shortcut to the caverns of time.

Gnomish universal remote - well, at least it's fun in gnomeregan, being able to take control of the alarmbots, bombs, and even the final boss himself. Pity that the arcatraz robots keep on damaging your party after you take control...

Steam tonk controllers. Fun for the whole raid whilst waiting for everyone to recover from a wipe!

Salt shakers - where would leatherworkers be without them?

Scopes - hunters will love you.

Lil' smokey - try not to piss the raid off to much with all the whirring sounds it makes.

Elemental Seaforium Charges - Rogues? Who needs them!

All those parts and bits and pieces needed for others in the guild to craft stuff and complete quests - it may not help the bank balance, but it will help the guildies.

And FINALLY come WotLK - we get to craft our own flying mounts! Perhaps more like a 'copter than a biplane, but either way, I can't wait!
