My Pally team just hit lvl 60, took a little time off from playin, and now has the option to choose factions in Shattrath. I've got a few professions on my team, but not sure which one to chose.

Main(tank) is an Armorsmith/miner

Slave 1 is Enchanter/Alchemist

Slave 2 is Jewel Crafter/Miner(thinkin about changing this or main's to Engineer)

Slave 3 is Herb/Skinning

Slaves are all Ret, main stays as Prot unless I'm in a BG, then I got Dual-Spec and swap to Ret also.

If you're wondering why I have two of them as a miner, I thought it would come in handy once I made it to Northrend to have extra cooldowns making the bars.

Choose scryer. Simply because You can fall off their tier and not die, and also you can use that same spot for the 65 yard falling and not dieing type achievements (get on your mount and just run straight off to the right of the pilon at the top of the tier). The fact of the matter is that the game no longer matters at 70, so whichever you pick, the recipes simply will not matter. So pick scryer for simple ease of use reasons.

once I made it to Northrend
Since i'm guessing you already have wrath or plan on buying choosing a faction doesn't matter. My druids are still neurtral with both and their lv 71 now.

Elyos ;-)

More seriously: yes I'd pick to bind to the scryer inn as you can just run/jump and not die - though given you can now get flying mounts at 60 it probably matters less now (and the actual rep doesn't matter at all)

the falling and achievement part, i'm not worried about. i've already gotten those achievements and i just run off and bubble as i fall. i'm lookin for which one would supply better crafting recipes and armor enchants. not to mention, which one would have slightly easier quest lines while i'm still in outland. dungeon grinding gets on my nerves. it may be another month before i can upgrade my three slaves to wrath, tryin to hold out till blackfriday again and hope i can get them at a discounted price like i did my battlechests last year. got 3 for $20 each, no tellin what gamestop will mark wrath down to, if they do.

Unless you plan to stay 70 for any significant amount of time, it doesn't matter. If you're achievement focused, Scryer rep turn ins are easier to get from Quel'Danas dailies / mobs are much each to farm than Aldor turn ins.

You probably won't be 70th long enough to build either faction.
With the 30% experience reduction for 61-70th, I'm generally done Burning Crusade after Hellfire - Zangarmarsh - Terrokar - Nagrand - some of Blade's Edge.
It's pretty fast, especially if you have a bit of rested in the mix.
