Archaeologypristine

You get six digs instead of three.

The resulting item is not a white that turns into vendor trash. Instead, it is turned into a crated box--which stacks!

You can turn in one Pandaren artifact a day for 5 Valor Points: Uncovering the Past.

Completing a dig site will sometimes spawn an Ancient Horror, a sha that drops more archaeology fragments.

The tooltips for completed objects now helpfully point out that there's more lore in the Archaeology Journal. A common complaint in Cataclysm was that most players didn't know about this.

Lorewalker's Map: Use: Randomizes your Archaeology digsites in Pandaria. (30 Min Cooldown)

Lorewalker's Lodestone: Use: Teleports you to a random active digsite in Pandaria. (30 Min Cooldown)

Boxes of archaeology fragments for each race have been added. Perhaps you will be able to turn in fragments you don't want for a more useful type. All of these crates require 600 skill.

Pandaria Trainer: Mai the Jade Shaper

Vanity Items: Jewelcrafters got a lot of fun things in Mists of Pandaria, including two vanity pets (Sapphire Cub, Jade Owl), an item that lets you see far (Scrying Roguestone), and several very expensive but flashy panther mounts, like Jeweled Onyx Panther.

New Items: Meta, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Green, Orange. Blizzard made a conscious choice to have primary stat gems seem less powerful compared to secondary stat gems.

Profession Perk: Serpent's Eye is the new JC-only gem in Mists (list of cuts). Players can only equip 2 of these special gems in Mists, in contrast to past expansions where they could equip 3. The gems are created from fusing Sparkling Shard from prospecting any Pandaria ore.

Obtaining New Recipes: In Mists of Pandaria, the recipe-learning process has changed. Players can discover recipes of a certain color on a daily basis with spells like Vermilion Onyx, or use Spirit of Harmony to discover new recipes even faster.

Very well put together in my opinion. I like the parts telling where the trainers are. That was the harder part of leveling past 525 was finding the trainers.
