Ive always thought it would be very stupid to go anything other than Tailor/Enchant for a priest, but i was reading the Priest FAQ and saw that when you take engineering you get one beast of a healing helmet, Powerheal 9000 Lens. So do you think it would be foolish to go Tailor/Engineer just to get one head item?
http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=35181
theres a link to the item itself. so you have to have very high engineering and i was thinking i could drop enchanting and get in a good guild that has an enchanter so that wouldnt be missed much right?
please give me your thoughts
thank you

Nah. Tailoring is nice, but not picking it saves you from grinding from recipes as you can only get your gear from instances anyway. Enchanting is what I'd find fairly useful though. The problem with Engineer/tailor is that you lack the mining needed to get that engineering stuff made; you will have to AH ALL your ore. Then again, this makes Engineer/tailor a better combination than Engineer/enchanter, since the latter combination is probably the biggest moneysink in the game.
It's however not a stupid idea to go engineering as a priest though. My friend (a paladin) is Engineer/enchanter (though his enchanting is at a low level), having picked up the combination mainly for the tanking goggles and the rocket boots.

The BOE recipie to make the BOP PowerHeal 9000 is a rare item indeed. I have a standing offer of 10k gold with all the Sunwell raiding guilds on my server, Horde and Alliance, to purchase it should it ever drop. It has not. Don't take Engineering with the idea that you'll get that item.
I do recommend Engineering for a priest. I love my Nigh-Invulnerability belt in Arenas--well, 5/6ths of the time, anyway. I love my Rocket Boots Xtreme Lite (right when dome vanishes, +levitate gets you to the flag first) in EotS. I love my Powerheal 2000. I love my Transporters, World Enlarger, Shrink Ray, Poultryizer, and other gadgets.
But other than Blacksmithing or Leatherworking, any profession is just fine for a Priest. Tailoring gives you your choice of Primal Mooncloth or Frozen Shadowweave, sets you won't want to break up until well into T5 territory. Enchanting gives you ring enchants that will be useful even after a tailoring set is passe. Jewelcrafting's unique BOP gems offer a tiny advantage by comparison, but top tier Arena players still tend to be Enchanting/Jewelcrafting. Alchemy gives you a neat healing trinket that boosts your mana potion performance. Gathering skills rake in the cash with little effort.
Your Tailoring/Enchanting combo is quite reasonable. I personally wouldn't switch them, especially if you have the skills maxed out.

For getting good gear at max?
Tailoring/Engineering.
I personally would just pick Tailoring/Enchanting though. Jewelcrafting is a HUGE pain to level, even WITH mining. I can't imagine what it would be like without. And the rewards of it are slim. At 70, maybe you'll make yourself a trinket. You can let other Jewelcrafters craft all your gems if you don't just AH them anyway. While Engineering is better to get good gear (even though it's only 4/5/6 items we're talking about from level 20 to 70), enchanting is easy enough to level and a handy thing to be able to do yourself. You cannot AH enchants.

My priest is presently Tailor/Alchemist - with Sha'tar Revered and Shattered Sun Offensive Exalted (and a large chunk of mats/gold) you can have a Sorcerer's and Redeemer's alchemist stones, which in conjunction with the Frozen Shadoweave/Spellstrike and Primal Mooncloth/Whitemend sets, is a very good way to start off raiding as a priest.
@soggymaster - Both of those say 'does not stack with other effects' dont they?
So seems like a little bit of a waste when another trinket would have more on it... I think
Unless i am missing something

For grinding or a shadow priest, you use the sorcerer's alchemist stone. For healing, you use the redeemer's stone.
In regards to the 'does not stack with other effects', equipping two Alchemist Stones does not increase the effect of HP/MP potions beyond 40%.

Another thumbs up for the tailoring/engineering is the ridiculous earning potential of engineering.
At least on Kalecgos, whenever you can start farming primal clouds money starts raining down from the sky. It's not uncommon for primal airs to go for 40g a piece.
There's a good amount of money to made in making scopes for hunters also.

Best gear: Tailor/Engineer. Level as tailor/enchant, enchant a couple good rings, sell all your DE's, powerlevel engineering.
Best money: Mining/JC'ing. Level JC from 180 to 280 and 300+ is pure profit, I made more money than it cost, even buying almost all the ore. Throw in the stuff from mining and it's just insane. I had a friend who would prospect about 30 stacks of adamantite ore a day, that's a nice profit for hardly any work, you just have to have the money for the investment. Mining/skinning is less profit but less gold requires to start out with, too.
Come WotLK, I'm probably going to level to 80 as Enchanting/Herbalism, enchant me a couple good rings, powerlevel Tailoring and disenchant everything, and then drop enchanting for inscriptions, most likely. Kinda depends on how powerful the BoP stuff is for enchanting versus inscription.
EDIT: And for raids, go tailoring/leatherworking. Drums are OP currently, huge nerf to make them good but not overpowered come WotLK.
