Level 80 pvp and professions?

[asonimie]

Currently from a min-max point of view, I'd recommend Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing.
That is purely from the enchant/extra bonus those professions have over others.
Blacksmithing doesn't really do anything for a shaman, so maybe its not the best option.

I personally went with Jewelcrafting and Inscription.
Inscription shoulder enchants are a bigger boost over Hodir enchants then Enchanting rings is over non-enchanted rings.
As a bonus, 400 inscription is a lot easier to reach then exalted with Hodir.

In 3.2, they're buffing most professions so there might be relative parity.
If this is the case, it won't matter which route you've gone.
If that is the case too, I'd consider each profession for your team, for maximum gold making.
Still, one or another might be slightly better then the others.

Jewelcrafting will receive higher stats on the Dragon's Eye Gems, which is a buff to bring them in line with other professions.
Basically, there will be epic gems for everyone, and Dragon's Eye's have to be as much ahead of the epic gems as say Inscription shoulders are ahead of Hodir enchants.
JC is getting a severe nerf in that Dragons Eye Gems will no longer be Prismatic, they'll count as their respective colors, ie spelldamage/attack power will be Red not all colors.
This will impact Meta Gem requirements and Socket bonuses on pieces, should the socket bonus be worthwhile.
It is a consideration for JC'ing, but Dragon's Eye Gems will still be a strong boost.

Very good info on the shoulder enchants, thank you.

However, I would like to point out that the Prismatic>Nonprismatic change is truly not a nerf for my team, at least for quad shammy arena anyway. If you are properly gemmed for 5v5, you aren't stacking only red SP gems, you should have 3 blue gems (sp pen), which will fill your weapon, leg, and belt requirements for socket bonuses, therefore giving you all the beneficial socket bonuses from your gear.

I do realize that some specs out there are hit by this, mostly people who were stacking pure red gems for max sp/str/agi. But I definitely wouldn't call it a huge nerf.
