I don't think the riding crop issue has to do at all with "must have crafting". If that's so, why'd they remove the Carrot on a Stick?

The crafting issue they had was that they didn't want to have "must have" bind-on-pickup items. So, a lot of raiders who couldn't use leather items were leatherworkers because the BoP drums were "must have".

The issue with the riding crop wasn't that it was crafted, nor that it was "must have" (a "must have" 50g BoE item is pretty minor at L80) but that they didn't like the "constantly swap trinkets in and out as you mount and dismount" interface. It wouldn't surprise me if whatever solution they come up with (as you suggest, maybe potions or inscriptions) is, in fact, crafted. And, yes, it'll be "must have", for those of you not lucky enough to be Paladins. It'll just not be a trinket, that was the real problem (from Blizzard's perspective).
