Hi Chris,
Trendlines and Baselines continue to be part of the properties in the Charts visualization library, which gives you access to the Charts from Cognos 8 and 10 in Reports. They are not properties of the newer built-in report Visualizations, nor are they properties of the built-in Dashboard Visualizations.
You could certainly submit an RFE for Baselines and Trendlines and perhaps they'll get added to the built-in visualizations if enough of us vote for the enhancement.
With 11.1.4 you have the ability to incorporate external javascript-based visualizations (such as D3) into the tool -- so perhaps one or more of those would include baseline and/or trendline functionality (I haven't done enough research to know if such visualizations exist)... so perhaps that's another route you can take.
I've been using the Target data slot recently to mimic a baseline in Column/Bar charts in Dashboards. That requires a measure in your data set that represents the baseline value, but it displays pretty well.
Best of luck!
Rich

So the baseline option has definitely been removed? I thought I was just missing something when I couldn't find it. Is the same true for trendlines?

Hi Heather, you could add multiple measures (2 in this case) to a line chart as part of the dashboard. One could be your actual and the other being the baseline value.
To make it appear like a baseline, I normally uncheck the marker option from visualization properties panel. Cognos groups the measure to create a measure group and you can use custom palette to assign color to the 2 lines. For eg. red for baseline and blue for actual value. It looks like below screenshot:
