I ended up having to dig this snippet backup for a new project and made some tweaks.

@struth Updated to only output if user is logged in.

	/**
	 * Generate BBpress Edit Profile Link in a shortcode
	 *
	 * @param $atts, text|class
	 * @example [bbp_edit_profile text="Edit My Profile" class"my-link-style"]
	 * @return string|void
	 *
	 */
	function bbp_edit_profile_link( $atts ) {
		
		//If user isn't logged in, return nothing
		if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
			return;
		} else {
			
			extract( shortcode_atts( array(
				                         'text'  => "",  // default value if none supplied
				                         'class' => "" //Style class for link
			                         ), $atts ) );
			
			if ( $text ) {
				$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
				$user         = $current_user->user_login;
				
				return '<a class="' . $class . '" href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">' . $text . '</a>';
				
			}
		}
	}
	
	add_shortcode( 'bbp_edit_profile', 'bbp_edit_profile_link' );
