I am having the same problem on one of my characters with Inscription. What I can see in the UI it is trying to display a Bloodthirsty Jawbone of Conquest recipe which I think is not supposed to exist anymore. On my another Inscription character this recipe is gone and I am not getting the error which leads me to thinking this is somewhat related to the tradeskill cleanup which didn’t go properly during server update.

Edit: I also still have Bloodthirsty Charm of Triumph, Bloodthirsty Eyeball of Dominance and maybe others. They show up randomly.

I did of course try disabling all addons, it made no difference.

I have precisely this problem. I have all professions across my characters and can confirm only the one with those Bloodthirsty PVP gear are bugged.
Jewelcrafting, Tailoring, Inscription, and Leatherworking are all broken for me.
