Profession for my Feral DruidFollow

I've made a druid. I plan to be feral, if I stick with the character long enough, heh. I don't really have any interest in the other specs, especially healing. I can't seem to decide on a profession.

My main is a 70 enhance Shaman, who's an herbalist/alchemist, so costs are not a concern.

My thinking was between Leather and Enchanting. I did start enchanting on my 21 pally but I don't think I'll be going back to her.

Any advice? Thanks.

If costs arent important (and therefore you don't need a gathering profession) why not both?

I've opted for Enchanting / Herbalism. I think I'd like enchanting more and herbs sell for a lot. Or stockpile them and sell them at a premium when inscription comes out, or level inscription myself. And I hate mining. Nodes are out of the way, you have to smelt, there are droughts when leveling it....

Am I missing something? If money's not an issue, I personally think herbalism is a very strange choice since there's no inherent advantage it gives you, other than gold from the AH or mats for herbalism. Alchemy would net you the alchemist stones, jewelcrafting would net you nice trinkets, and leatherworking would give you access to the BoP Primalstrike set along with the use of the various drums which can serve as emergency fear or boost your parties DPS or healing as needed. Unless you're hardcore PvPer or raider, that Primalstrike set will be part of your DPS set for a good long time.

Edit to avoid extending the thread: Maybe I should have said that I know herbalism is a great profession for gold, that gold is good, and that we're the most efficient herbers in the game thanks to flight form. I just thought it was kinda strange to start a thread asking for profession advice relative to a specific class and spec, emphasizing out the fact that cost/gold was not a concern, thus (I thought) giving the impression that he was looking for whatever profession had the best value to a feral druid in terms of character enhancement/improvement, and then end up picking a gathering profession that has no inherent benefits or BoPs. Forget I said anything. Herbalism rules -- Good choice!!!

Eh, personally I've never found anything I wanted for my druid more than more money. I've just stuck with herbalism and skinning. She's my little gold farmer. :)

Ok, when I said money wasn't an issue it was more that if what I chose didn't make money or lost some, it wasn't a big deal. At these prices, leveling any of those from scratch without the accompanying skill would cost a fortune. Yes, I have a 70, with about 3.5k gold. But I don't play a ton and I don't have my epic flyer yet, so I'm not made of money. If I get to 70, MAYBE I'll power level a craft then. Til then, I don't see me neededing any of them while leveling so I'll take herbalism in th meantime to make money.

Nothing is more efficient than a druid with herbalism.
