Endgame Alchemy
In the endgame of WotLK, flasks and transmutations are two of the most sought after uses of Alchemy.

For raiding, and to a lesser extent PvP, Flask of the Frost Wyrm, Flask of Stoneblood, Flask of Pure Mojo, and Flask of Endless Rage are all necessary for a successful group, and most parties will not start without them. Here, being a Master of Elixirs could come in handy, as your procs can either go to your group, increasing your own value, or straight to the AH where there will certainly be a market waiting.

Alchemists are also able to create the epic gems necessary to fill the slots present on high level gear. Making Cardinal Ruby with Transmute: Cardinal Ruby, Majestic Zircon with Transmute: Majestic Zircon, King's Amber with Transmute: King's Amber, or others are all incredibly useful and valuable ways to use your Grand Master Alchemy. Transmutation is also important to create Titanium Bar with  Transmute: Titanium. Though the material cost for each of these is quite steep, the gems and bars can fetch quite a high amount on the AH. The one thing to note about these spells is that while they can all proc the Transmutation Master effect, they also all share a lengthy cooldown, so choose wisely.
