BOP profession patterns, can everyone see them?

Here's what I noticed, my main is not an enchanter however I had a bop enchant drop on the weekend over in SMV (+15 Arcane Resist to Cloak). Now I did see it on my main - however it was shaded all red - I usually autoloot everything without looking first but my inventory happened to be full and so it didn't pick it up but the window stayed open so I saw it anyways. The wierd part is I freed up some inventory and then went to look at the corpse again and the body was no longer sparkling and I was thinking I lost it for good - until I looked on my enchanter toons screen and saw that it was still sparkling only for him and picked it up. My enchanter is 290 skill so he can't even learn it yet either. I was using FFA looting at the time.

Another thing I noticed about FFA looting with chests - once one person opens it, nobody else can even if they close it and take nothing - the other guys don't get the gear anymore. Seems like a bug to me but I guess its a fail safe (no pun intended).

I can confirm how it works as well.

I was looting on an alt, collection quest *groan*, and BOP blacksmithing plans dropped in Netherstorm. All my characters are set to autoloot. The loot window did *not* stay open but luckily I was watching that character window at the time as I was looting with the mouse in it. The character looted the corpse, could see the pattern, and the loot window auto closed after looting. I am on free for all and my pally is the blacksmith and was the only one that could loot the corpse afterwards.

I think... i can't confirm but based on what i've seen in raids... if you have a master looter he will see it.

that is correct and as of now (patch 2.4) everyone can see all the loot but only the ML can interact with it (including patterns)

Also, if set to FFA the item still appears on the corpse but only the enchanter (or whatever profession your getting the pattern for) will be able to a) interact with it and b) get any kind of bop confirmation message.
