Herb and mining will fall behind RAF leveling. Since time is limited, i never raised them very far.

I always have skinning and disenchanting on all my teams. Skinning is easy, good gold. But can slow dungeon runs. Like Occulus, I skin all the whelp and dragonkins in the first section.

Disenchanting is expensive. Even with all the drops and quest items, i still have to buy a lot mats to level. Unless you do tons of runs. But in the end, i have tons of dust from heroic runs.

The reason i was always reluctant to do crafting was because armor drops can be better or equal to crafted items. Although there are profession only perks. the only time i bough any crafted items and mats was to start heroics.
