It's funny because something like this just came up today for me.
We were running the SV daily, full PuG group, 5 members from 5 different guilds. After the first boss a BoE JC recipe dropped. Four of us roll greed and the DPS warrior says "Need for JC" and rolls need.
That's all fine and good. If he was a JC we all would have no problem with him rolling need on a recipe he didn't have. That's how I've always run a group. But we asked him to link his JC. After a little bit and us asking him a couple times, he's like "You caught me, I'm just low on gold right now, lol" and he told us to roll. He did end up giving it to the mage who was the high roller.
Now at this point, if I was the group leader, I would have kicked the liar and thief from the group. Sorry about being saved to SV and not getting your daily quest done; tough luck, don't be a #$%^&* next time. However I wasn't the leader and we kept him on.
Get to last boss, the epic bow drops. Now this warrior already has an epic ranged that was better than the bow, but he says "Need" and rolls need. I was DE on the run so I rolled need too, took it, and DEed it. I DEed the rest of the loot then gave it out to the other three people and the ninja didn't get anything. He ended up rolling need on the nether too.
Oh, the trade chat argument when we got back to Shatt.... should have kicked him from the group as soon as he tried to pull that crap with the pattern.

Its mostly just JC boe recipes that would cause a fuss like this, and I hope they handle jewelcrafting a bit better in wrath. With every other profession there arent that many recipes and they are for the most part not that OMG GOTTA HAVEIT if you know what I mean, (useful but not killer if you don't have it)
You really have to look at it in the context of the profession, trainer trained recipe for jc are well....not junk but not really much better than. Every single useful thing from JC comes from a recipe and almost all of them are either a drop, or cost 40g per.
tldr, if a boe jc recipe drops, ya you MIGHT be able to sell it for 500+g but every group i've been with has just given it to a jc in the group because they were all capable of realizing what a pain in the tush jc is to get recipe's for.
bonus: pretty much every time it was a useful recipe, the jc cut it for people in the group for freebie right after if they had gems or for discount if he/she did.

BoP patterns/designs/plans/etc are seen only by the people with the said profession, and they need to decide among themselves if they should all roll Need or Greed. Makes no difference. Need preffered to avoid ninjas.
BoE patterns/designs/plans/etc are seen by everybody and are considered gold drops. Everybody should roll Need or Greed, as decided by the Group Leader. Need preferred to avoid ninjas.
BoE rare/epic items should, ideally, go to the person that actually plans on using them. Now, this contradicts with the pattern idea to a certain extent, but getting a BoE pattern will rarely benefit you as much as a BoE weapon.
Mucho argumentation needed, but it's matter of personal preference. By general rule, one could make less money off a BoE blue item, than a BoE blue pattern, which is why items are usually given to whoever actually needs them.
