Tips on going back and adding professions

[Ualaa]

If the game gets to be boring, take a break.
Burn out is a serious threat, especially when you level a team and then another.

I believe I've been playing wow for close to 4 years.
I've taken 3 three month vacations from the game.
Along with a couple of 2-3 breaks.

It helps to keep the game fresh.
You can log in and have fun again.

Hrm.

thinking that scraping together the gold to power up enchanting on one of them before capping level might make sense, since I then would be able to DE all the instance drops.

edit:
Otherwise I'm thinking
Mining/JC on tank (pally or feral)

Enchant/JC on main shammy
Insc/Alch
Skin/Alch
Herb/Alch for the rest

Though the third alchemist could be swapped to JC, but alch should be cheaper to level, depends on how lucrative either is really. Very little interest in Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, or even tailoring (my mage can make bags in any case).

Maybe change the second prof for that last shammy to engineering well down the road, have never been into engineering though ironically I am one professionally.

Why not JC/Alch for all of them? My team has the gather skills (mining,skinning,herbing) too.. It does add to the gold pile as you level up, but I honestly think it's not worth it. There were too many times where I had to to stop earning XP to level the gathering prof to be the level of the zone I am in (approx. 5xlevel). Also I instance a lot and so I miss out on the herb/ores. My skinning is maxed out and the others are in the upper 300s. Even now when I see a node I don't bother with it. Skinning is easy as the mob is right there. Just my 2 copper,
