ring enchants are enchanter only. but Id proly take JC for those bonuses instead

so ench/LW on one and JC/LW on the rest
Was gonna go DE for money but your right, one is enuf. Here is what I am planning on now for the professions:

Paly (main): Mining / JC
Shammy 1: Skinning/Tailor
Shammy 2: Enchant / Tailor
Shammy 3: Tailor / LW
Shammy 4: Tailor / XXXXXXX (idead needed)

the tailoring will let me make money easily in higher levels and the enchating as well. The LW on one char will let me make (decent) equipment for all shammy but that will be replaced by heroic stuff eventually.

then I can also do my own enchantments and my own jewels.

Things missing: Herb, Alchemy, Blacksmithing

those things are nice, but herb and mining cannot be done at same time and would just take more time to level.
actually the netherstrike 3 piece set from dragonscale leatherworking (which is BOP) will last you well past kara.

As for tradeskills the main purpose that I will be using tradeskills for on my 5box team is not for money its for gear and boosts to my characters themselves. Leveling a collection profession would be very annoying to do on an alt. My source of money will come from enchanting and mainly DE'ing. Unless you have some of the rare patterns (which are epic world drops) there is not much you can do with any of the professions for profit unless you farm your own mats.
