WOW FOREVER · PROFESSIONS · EVERY BONUS, OBJECT AND PERK
Professions with a point.
Blizzard promised over 600 new recipes and said you would feel your profession choice at low level. This is what that means in practice: the passive bonus each profession gives for being trained, the crafted objects you can drop at a campfire, the new recipe types, and the Legacy perks that sit on top. Each line is tagged by whether Blizzard said it on stage or the community read it off the demo.

Placing a Basic Campfire creates a campsite with vendors, repairs, profession workspaces and one-hour buffs. You sit at the fire for a moment before the buffs land. Blizzard
A Basic Campfire holds up to three crafted objects. Each player adds one, on a one-hour cooldown. Blizzard
Camping is unlocked by training Cooking. Campfires last about ten minutes, cannot be placed in cities, and have a minimum spacing from each other. Reported
It is not competitive: a better object simply replaces a worse one, per Josh Greenfield. Reported
Every profession has three camp objects learned at different skill levels. The first comes at skill 20 from the camping NPCs or your trainer; the advanced ones are Blueprint recipes that drop from specific dungeon bosses. Blizzard
Camp buffs are variants of class buffs and do not stack with them: the Incense Candle competes with Arcane Intellect, the First Aid Kit with Power Word: Fortitude. Blizzard
Waylaid Crates drop from mobs from level 10. Filled with gathered or crafted goods and turned in to the Azeroth Commerce Authority (Three Corners) or Durotar Supply and Logistics (Crossroads), they award Merchant's Favor, which buys over 300 recipes. Blizzard has not described the system. Reported
LEGACY · ACCOUNT-WIDE
The Professions perk tree.
One Legacy point per challenge completed, spent across three account-wide trees. Nothing here is combat-related. Ranks shown as seen in the demo. The Professions tree also has two placeholder slots whose tooltip reads "To be added in future patch content". Each character can spend 16 Legacy points at launch, with 65 earnable in total and more trees to come, per the BlizzCon Deep Dive panel.

Which two to take
For a first character the trained passives decide it: Mining for 5% health and Skinning for 5% against Beasts and Dragonkin are free power on any class, and Herbalism's magic resistance plus the Incense Candle is the caster pick. Crafters pay for their objects with gold and time. That is fine at 60 and slow at 30.
