Mulgrin, are you serious? Enchanting over JC? JC gives you BoP gems with extra stats, and the Hard Khorium Choker, which is one of the two best necks in the game, the other being Clutch of Demise.
Yes I'm serious. Your chances at getting the recipy for the hard khorium choker are minimal even if you raid sunwell.
We raid it since it is open (our success is not great at all, but we still kill a lot of trash *g*) and we had like two recipies in all that time (and 0 JC recipies).
Getting a good neckpiece in endgame is not very hard; there are a lot of alternatives.
Getting 40% more out of every mana pot or getting another +8 to all stats is something you can only get with your professions.
If you always raid with a ret pally (and thus always have the mana seal up) you won't need alchemy at all and enchanting is the profession you should chose.
If you don't raid with a ret pally very often, you'll need the extra mana (and if you don't really need it, you might use one mana pot less and use a haste pot instead).
But all that only is valid for the end game content. If you don't plan to raid into sunwell, then I would not chose any of the three professions. Get money making professions instead.
