Basically this is a call to any helpful (r really bored people) to help me decide what to do with my priest.
Back story:
My priest recently dinged 60 and over the next month or so I'm planning to level her to 70 and get her Kara attuned and ready. She's going to go aldor for some nice tailoring synergy with my scryer mage.
My main character is currently a mage (with full FSW) who I got to 70 not that long ago.
I've also recently got a balance/resto druid to 70 and started to gear her for healing (I level lots of alts simultaneously [rested xp ftw] over a long time span if anyone is wondering).
Dilemma:
I don't know what to do with her at 70, particularly pertaining to which tailoring specialisation to pick.
She'll probably only be used in Karazhan and heroics, but depending on how I feel at the time I may level her as my main in WotLK, so I don't want her to be too gimped gear wise.
My guild is currently lacking healers for alt kara runs, but has a solid group of holy priests for 25 mans (whereas our SP so far have been unreliable at best). So she'd probably be needed for healing at lower end, but dps if I decided to switch her for my mage (T4/early T5 level).
Tailoring wise it seems that it would be quite handy to have two differently specced tailors, plus I could make mooncloth bags for my army of alts. Added to that I've not so long ago ground out the FSW set and gemmed/enchanted it for my mage pretty much the same way as I would for my priest. Doing it again so soon would seem a little repetitious to say the least.
So I guess really the question is: could I be viable for endgame dps without the crafted tailoring set (and without too much pvp as I really don't like it) or would I just be majorly gimping myself?
Thoughts welcome, and cookies to anyone who read this far.

Hmm interesting, I'll throw this out there and see what you make of it...
You say that you probably won't be using your priest as your main until WoTLK and for now it seems you'd be using her for healing.
It seems simple therefore to go for the mooncloth tailoring for now and not worry about gear for dps, if you decide at the time the next expansion comes out you'll be using her as your main then you'll be picking up new gear for shadow/dps within a few levels so the gimping the gear point is moot. If you need the dps now then stay with your mage.
At the least this will enable you to continue healing the alt-progression raids as they move through content, it would only really be an issue if you decided to switch your main prior to the next expansion.

on your priest, drop tailoring and pickup some other prof you've always wanted to do. stay shadow at 70.
there are decent alternatives to FSW for shadowpriests. being #1 dps isn't as important, as you're providing the unique mana returns of Vamp Touch. being optimal isn't as important as being present :)

You're gimping yourself without it. You can still be viable, it'll just be much harder to put out the damage levels that you should be. The shoulders last you until 2pT5 (usually shoulder + helm), the robes till T6 and Illidan, and the boots currently have no replacement.
And the hardcore shadow priests would argue that presence is not enough ;) I've been chewed out for having mana regen on my chest instead of +15spirit, because that 15 spirit translates into an extra 2dmg with IDS and Kings. Not to mention my pants >.> Your +dmg = other people's mana, you should be trying to return as much mana as you can, so you need to get as much +dmg as you can.
