It would be cool to see the green Metamorphosis version from Mists of Pandaria get an incarnation item.
I loved the questline and having the option to get the green Metamorphosis back would be a blast. I'd also love to see felfire spells, but I believe that might be a bit too much to ask for.

I remember I was super excited when I saw the Sun Lute for the first time at the Black Market in MoP. I was overjoyed when I found the Arcanite Ripper was on sale there as well and these two have been my favourite 2H Weapon mogs in the whole game for the longest time. While I didn't enjoy Necromedes quite as much I still love the aesthetics.
I would love to see those skins be available as vanity items, especially if their use effects could be implemented as well.
I know that the Arcanite Ripper will be available through the WotLK pre-event, but considering that is still quite some time from now I think it would be cool to have it as a vanity.
At the very least I would appreciate if the Arcanite Ripper could get a vanity version when it's time for the pre-event.

I've seen quite a few people try to get a dependable Metamorphosis tanking build and I personally loved to idea of being able to tank as a Warlock in pre-WoD expansions.
Mists of Pandaria offered the perfect ability to do this through a glyph.

My idea for this LRE would be to have it require knowing Metamorphosis.
Your regular Metamorphosis would be replaced by Demonic Apotheosis, a permanent stance rather than a temporary shapeshift. In this stance the special Metamorphosis abilities are useable and the damage increase from Metamorphosis is replaced by a 10% damage mitigation and slightly increased threat generation.
edit: considering MFB causes the tank to deal less damage a similar effect would probably make sense in this case
Demonic Apotheosis would limit you to fire and shadow spells and abilities and stuff that is useable in all other shapeshifts.
Since I am not very experienced with tanking I am gonna add some additional ideas to add to this RE or some seperate supporting REs in here. I'd appreciate some feedback on this.
Demonic Apotheosis would allow the user to use both Demon Armor and Fel Armor at the same time
The effects of Demon Armor and/or Fel Armor are doubled while Demonic Apotheosis is active
edit: double might be a bit much in hindsight
new idea: Demon Armor grants 50% additional armor, Fel Armor provides a percentage of spirit or intellect as resistances against all spell schools
The Immolation Aura, Hellfire, Shadowfury and Shadow Cleave can now apply the Soul Leech talent effect (the effect would be reduced for Immolation Aura and Hellfire)
edit: this probably should be more in line with the Ret Paladin Talent 'Vindication'
new idea: Immolation Aura and Hellfire now have a chance to apply the attack power reduction part of the Soul Leech talent and benefit from the Soul Leech Capstone effect, Shadow Cleave and Shadowfury benefit completely from the Talent, but only provide a third of the healing
Rain of Fire or Hellfire get a similar effect to Consecration (Emanate) from Emanating Light, in the case of Rain of Fire the ability would turn into a instant cast, granting you a minor stacking mitigation buff. In the case of Hellfire the spell would allow you to move while channeling, deal reduced damage to the caster and or grant a 5-10% damage mitigation buff while channeling
edit: in both cases a reduction in outgoing damage would probably be a good idea
Searing Pain will now also hit other enemies affected by Immolate in a small radius
edit: as a standalone RE this should probably require MFB or Demonic Apotheosis to be active
Getting hit by attacks while channeling Hellfire has a chance to unleash additional, larger Hellfire Bursts which reduce the movement and attackspeed of nearby enemies
edit: movement speed reduction would provide too much value, the attackspeed reduction would be in line with an undmodified Thunderclap
While casting shadow spells attacks made against the caster have a chance to cause a burst of shadow energy around the caster, leeching some health from enemies around the caster.
While casting fire spells a similar effect is active, instead resulting in a burst of fire, dealing some damage and reducing nearby enemies attack speed by 10%
Drain Life, Mana and Soul have a chance to send additional links towards attackers while channeling, applying a weaker effect to additional affected enemies.
Feel free to reply with some other ideas, feedback of any kind would be appreciated.
edit: cleaned the post a bit up, added another support idea
As it stands right now, Eldritch Knight feels extremely underwhelming as a Legendary Mystic Enchant, it only does a single, very simple thing, and it doesn't even do that particular thing all that well.
Currently Eldritch Knight generates a bit of mana for every successful melee attack, nothing else.
Not every Legendary Mystic Enchant has to be super complex, but this might be a bit too simplistic, especially since the effect isn't that special either.
My suggestion to make Eldritch Knight a much more desireable Legendary Mystic Enchant would look like this:
I believe this would thematically fit the Mystic Enchant very well and help melee Mana-forged Barrier builds to perhaps catch up to other tank builds, but might also allow for some more Intellect based melee builds.
Feel free to reply with some other ideas, feedback of any kind would be appreciated.

I would love to see Incarnation items for the Saberon forms introduced in Warlords on Draenor on this server and I bet they would see their fair share of popularity with their unusual humanoid cat form, seeing that the humanoid bear forms are used quite a lot as well.
There are plenty of unique models to use for Incarnations or even new legendary random enchantments or a level 60 talent based on the Saberon form that was available to druids in WoD.
