5 man dungeon leveling: Are professions viable?

[dalo199]

Yes, and this is obviously not going to be something I have early on, but once I get a solid boosting toon, I can run the lowbies through dungeons to set this all up.

Yeah I didn't think of boosting it will still take a while but you can make some ok gold as well... what are you thinking for a boosting toon? Maybe a frost mage to AOE farm lower level stuff?

Probably a feral druid. For places like Scarlet Monastery Cathedral, can stealth to the end boss and pull the boss, who pulls the entire instance, and drag it back to the entrance to be in range of the lowbies. But my "main" team will have multiple classes so I should be able to test out multiple classes and find what works best for me.

Warrior or frost mage are typically the two best boosting classes pre-wrath in my experience.
