Because I likely will be doing some solo farming/boosting & PVP on my Paladin in addition to running a 5box I likely would run:

Paladin: Engineering / Enchanting
Shaman1: Skinning / Leatherworking
Shaman2: Mining / Leatherworking
Shaman3: Herbalism / Leatherworking
Shaman4: Alchemy / Leatherworking

When boxing I likely will have my Paladin too far away to benefit from reduced range drums and/or don't really want to be running back to use drums/etc so the above likely fits my intended approaches better.

That would allow me on my Paladin when solo farming or boosting other alts/people to still be able to blow open locks/chests, do extra AoE/stuns & long range pulls from Engineering, as well as disenchant stuff I loot.

If I only planned on running the paladin as part of the team I would do as you indicated. If I didn't also want (and already have at 300) the Engineering on the Paladin I guess I could make the Paladin the Enchanter and still use him to disenchant stuff aquired while solo farming or boosting as long as I am OK with giving up blowing locks/chests and extra AoE/effects/gear from Engineering. In the end I likely will keep Engineering on my Paladin as in phase 1+ of TBC I may be using 1 or 2 Engineering Stam trinkets and in P2 I likely will use the Goggles in addition to the other benefits.

Excellent. Thank you very much for the advice. 5 leatherworkers it is!
