For PvE at endgame, leatherworking/engineering;
I don't PVE really, so I'm not the most qualified to comment on that. Still, I guess that T6 is better than the leatherworking BOP crafts.
Probably the same for engineering, although the new googles are really nice. Not sure if they're better or worse than T6. One thing for sure: the schematics are damn hard to get, not a single guild on my server is that far (Sunwell plateau).
In any case, I'm pretty sure that high end PVE drops are superior to the crafts. So it would in my eyes be better to be an enchanter, which gives you a unique boost (enchant rings which only enchanters can have).

Allow me to disagree here: I'd say enchanting/JC because, as I said above, enchanting gives you the unique ring enchants and jewelcrafting gives you the shadowsang panther trinket which is very nice.
Engineering (which I have) gives you nothing unique (except if the new googles are better than T6? and still, you got to be damn lucky/filthy rich to get them). No useful engineering item can be used in arenas (the only one I'm using now are the epic googles and I'll replace them with S4). Engineering gives you a few toys which can be useful when you gear up or other than that some funy / powerful items to play with in BGs / PVE. But certainly nothing useful for arenas (where most cool items are disabled).
