You could go Inscription, which also means you don't need the faction for shoulder enchants (Hodir in WotLK).
You could have professions for transmutes.
The jewelcrafting daily is lucrative too.
It will be a good idea to have Enchanting on someone on the team, if you PvE instances; that way nothing is wasted.

The gathering skills are an amazing way to make gold, when you don't have much.

The production skills (buy mats) make you a lot more, particularly as you attain rare recipes, or even reputation recipes.
Combining JC + transmutes can equal almost 1000 gold a day or more per day just from professions alone... But it's expensive to start.

About 3-4k per powerleveled JC, and like 1k per alchemy

But still... farming primal fires for the cardinal ruby x-mute takes maybe an hour for a week's worth of x-mutes. Buying the blue gems is a small price to pay (30-50g) for the extra 100g profit. It also takes less time to do than leveling mining for titansteel CD
