Cata Professions

What better reason to choose Alchemy than to be able to transform into a dragon!

A new spell appeared in the latest beta build, the Vial of the Sands. According to the spell and reagents it looks like it will be an alchemy recipe available through Discoveries, the Vial of the Sands isn't a regular mount and will let you transform into a Sandstone Drake and carry an ally on your back!

• Vial of the Sands - Teaches you how to transform into a dragon, allowing you to fly very fast and carry an ally on your back.

I already have two alchemists, both maxed out. All my lvl 80 alts that still don't have at least one main profession I'm powerleveling them on Alchemy.

Main reason if not solely is:
"New unique material used by nearly all high-level recipes will be created by alchemists on a one-day cooldown."

Between azeroth fly, high speed flying and getting the new level on professions, we'll need something around 5k per toon on Cataclysm very start. That's a lot of money (well for people like me that hates the whole AH deal... I always just have enough money for my goals ).
