Drop enchanting on my tank?

[emesis]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if mining gives +500 health and enchanting you can have +48 stamina from two ring enchants, then wouldn't enchanting be preferable for a pally tank with kings?

Here is my current plan:
Pally tank: enchanting, mining
Owls: JC, TBD
Shaman healer: TBD

Nope, you're right. The advice to drop enchanting IMO was a little silly. I'd keep it up simply based on the cost of releveling it on another toon. The OP will get a lot more benefit overall by leveling professions on his other toons.

BTW, although not SUPER fast, you can actually level mining on multiple toons at once for the stamina boost - at least in prior patches you could simply not loot the mined resource and everyone in your group can get one skill-up per node. That makes it about the most economical and efficient profession to boost multiple toons.

Also, if you want to max your tank compared to your other toons, blacksmithing is a better option than mining, with the extra sockets you get the benefit of Kings again on your stamina jewels; plus the bonus sockets will scale immediately if epic gems are released as anticipated in the future. OTOH, if you want mining on your main so you can conveniently see nodes, that's cool.
