You don't. No time, and mostly no gold to do it. Most have no gear and few have mounts, much less professions, besides possibly a collection one. 90 days will go by quickly and if you are doing more than 1 team I would lvl first and then worry about professions after that. Even with my meager stash of gold (between 4 and 5k) I will be hard pressed for gold by the time this 90 days is up. After training on 5-10 toons, mounts and gear there is nothing left for professions. After the leveling is over and the time limit isn't pressing up against me, I will take a breather and figure out which toons and what professions will work for me.
Seconded. No professions until you get to 60 and are done levelling teams (or unless you have a load of gold from your main(s) with which to buy mats). But if you're going to do Herbalism/Mining for money, do what I did and put it on the primary so you can use a macro (/castsequence Find Herbs, Find Minerals) to switch between views and don't have to look at one of your smaller displays for the minimap's node spot. Similar with Skinning; I added that to one of my subtoons since I already knew which mobs were goign to be skinnable and just a quick double-click (I don't use 'Focus Follows Mouse' in Keyclone) gets it going.

To answer the OP's question (Is it worth it): Yes. The speed at which you level means that the original early-30s team is going to be quickly passed.

I leveled my original tribox team to 60 in around two weeks (about a day and a half, /played time), and now have another 2.5 months with which to (very very rapidly) create new teams (and thus, a presence) on other servers so I can play/socialize with friends on those server/factions.

The BEST way to do this, so you spend a minimum of money, is:

A recruits F and G
B recruits H

Let C, D and E expire. Playing with this team in one group means you only have to buy three more copies/keys, and can use two of your original accounts (which should have your main(s), if any). You'll get two Zhevras for A, and one for B.

As for purchasing software/keys, what I did was look on google for sites/companies that had the Battlechest on sale for $30, which I had no problem finding. I purchased my four copies from Circuit City, Best Buy, and GameStop/EBGames, and ended up not having to pay shipping for three of them (local San Francisco pickup from Best Buy and GameStop).
