Sounds like AA profile swapping won't be for the faint of heart (or is it faint of purse). But it is nice to see a crafting component to it.

Okay....just read one that made me want to clean up stuff so I can re-install Test on my computer.  And now, I'm going to!  I wanna see the new Frostfell stuff!!!

Yay! I can't wait. I think that I'll go home and clear out some space for Test server, too. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

In the Ironforge Exchange, you can purchase the recipe for it. Requires +40k faction to get it. I assume the equivalent crafter society faction for other cities is the same.<img src="http://www.mattcrews.com/images/eq2/reflections-of-the-grandmasters.jpg" border="0" alt="" />By the way, crafted armor got a <i>huge</i> upgrade.
