This page will summarize the guild and personal PvE bonuses of each profession. Bonuses introduced with sunwell have been noted. For commentary on these bonuses see BC Best Profession by Class/Spec

Generally for raiding. Leatherworking Drums were considered the most powerful profession perk by far. With top guilds having LW a requirement for all progression raid members. Drums of Battle give 80 haste to each party member. Which is 400 bonus haste to the party. They also lasted 30 sec. Drums stacked with anything and didn't share a cooldown with anything but a 2 minute cooldown with other drums. If all party members where leatherworking they could maintain the drum benefit plus one party member could do a Drums of War or Drums of Restoration.

The second profession should be Enchanting (personal ring enchant), Engineer (useful gadgets) or Jewelcrafting (unique gems).

The profession with the least exclusive benefits was Blacksmithing, it was mostly used to create decent weapons for non-raiders.
