I don't think you get any more benefits than those listed below, but I'm
not an high-level alchie.

> What are the benefits of being a MoT?

There's a chance to get *more* back on a transmute. I.e. Transmute of
primal might, you have a chance to get mote than one primal might. (I
think I'va heard of someone getting up to 3 items on transmutation).

Potion masters can get back multiple potions, and elixir masters can get
multiple elixirs (and flasks also I think). I've heard/seen of up to 5
potions/elixirs on one creation.

I think, atm you discover transmutes when transmuting, elixirs while
creating elixirs, etc. But the mechanism behind this is always changing
a bit and as Blizzard hasn't stated anything, it's all a bit of guesswork.

You might want to check the official professions forums also.

All it does is you get the chance of getting extra's (up to 5) on a
transmute. One guy in my guild has gotten up to 5 Primal Mights on a
single transmute, but I've never gotten more than 3 of anything
transmuted myself.

There is a question to ask yourself: how often do you make stuff?
Transmutation is a once a day thing. Sure when it procs you get LOTS
of extra stuff/money, but you can make an unlimited number of potions
per day. You might have better luck going that route. YMMV.

As to discoveries, I think it's like Urs said, in that transmutations
can trigger transmute discoveries, elixirs for elixirs, and potions
for potions. I only do transmutes regularly and the only discovery
I've made so far is Transmute: Primal Mana to Primal Fire (which is
pretty nice).

Zebby got her first discovery of Transmute: Primal Mana to Fire last night.
How cool is that. Maybe I'll make one tonight.

nothing discovered so far making Potions. Zebby usually only makes lower level potion though.

Two discoveries making "flask of the Titans" at the shatt alchemy lab. cool.

Zebby is a specialist in neither or any. Just a level 375 alchemist.

I'd say once per every 4 or 5 transmutes I'll get extras.

I discovered Flask of Fortification while making Super Mana Potions (Master
of potions).
