First time playing WOW so everything is new to me. Learning as I go.
Hoping someone could take a look at my character/build and offer some suggestions if they see holes. Always looking to better my character. Affliction, 66, just trying to level (not worried about raid and raid builds until 70). Just made it out to Nagrand so I will begin questing there tonight.
Armory Link
Thanks in advance.

Everything looks good. Just keep upgrading with any quest rewards you may get until 70.

Ah, sorta. While you definitely got the right idea, just a few things might be optimised.
First, in terms of gear, you seem to be doing fine. There's a good site, Warlock-Loot, that tells you the good warlock drops from zones and dungeons. Highly useful. Also, Make sure you do the ring of blood event, some really nice stuff from that.
Worst thing I can see is the lack of a second profession. You might just be the type of person that hates 'em, but they can definietely come in useful.
As for talents I would go for something like this.
The only changes are getting rid of Imp.Hs, Imp.Health Funnel and Suppression (which you will need later for early raiding, useless for leveling though) and add in points to Nightfall, Grim Reach, Imp. Howl of terror and destruction. That just optimises the build. You are drain tanking right?
Now some might disagree that suppresion is useless for leveling, seeing as it does hit cap you against equal level mobs, but the difference is tiny so meh..just like the difference between your build and the one up there. Personally, I wouldn't bother re-speccing till 70 to save money.
Edit: Yep, wrong url.

Thanks for your feedback.
I will definately check that out. Much appreciated.
I don't think your link is working, it shows my current talents. This was suppose to be my end result as I waited to retalent myself for raids.
Yes.
I been thinking about this and considering Enchanting. All my reading has informed me Enchanting is good to pair with Tailoring. This seem like the right idea?
Thanks for your time again!

Enchanting, Jewelcrafting or Engineering will be good to go with Tailoring. Enchanting is quite easily the easiest to level as a tailor, but far from the easiest profession to level (the only one I've had more trouble with has been Blacksmithing, but lol blacksmithing).
Enchanting is a money sink, so keep that in mind if you decide to pick it up. On some servers, it is a highly valued profession that can make money once you have the right enchants, but until then, you don't make a whole lot of money, and it's difficult to power level without spending grandiose amounts of money.
Jewelcrafting is a good profession as well, but also difficult to power level (specifically, around the thorium area).
Engineering's a pain, with some nice perks, but not really a money maker nor a money sink.

I was assuming Enchanting so I could aquire MATS like Arcane Dust, etc used for some Tailoring items. (it's the only example I can think of at the moment).
Another reason i was holding out on learning a new profession was to obtain more information on the new profession coming in November. I just been lazy on my research.

The plus sides to enchanting is that mats are generally easy to come by. And will all the new dailies, you can get enough netherweave cloth to DE into large prismatics, as well (currently).
IIRC, there isn't much as far as tailoring goes in the xpac, but ... flying carpets! :D I don't intend to drop either of my professions as I have some epic/rare patterns for both, and ring enchants are really nice.

Enchanting is far from a money sink, even w/o the best enchants. Disenchanting is a huge money maker, if you know how to use it right. When I was 65ish or so I could easily make 100G a day at the AH buy buying cheap things, DEing and selling the mats. The best part is, the mats don't have an AH fee, so you don't lose any gold listing them over and over again. Having Auctioneer(with an up to date database) and Enchantrix help this process alot.
This is also a better way to get the mats you need to skill up, rather than buy the mats, buy items that DE into the mats you need that sell for cheaper than the mats. DE, use what you need, sell the leftovers. You can sometimes even break even skilling up that way.
I will admit though, after 300 it does get very expensive to skill up. The only reason I did it was for the ring enchants, as I know about 4-5 people that have all the enchants, 1 in my guild, and the others just people I know, that will do enchants for me and anyone in my guild for free. They usually give away the mats too as they have tons saved up on bank alts.

A money sink in the respect that power leveling it is expensive. I admit, it can be worthwhile and profitable for some (and even said as much), but that's not always the case. On my server, it's not; JC and LW are actually king).
I went back to look for where you said it could be profitable, and the only thing I found was this:
Even w/o any enchants besides the trainer enchants, and using those only to skill up, you can make a ton of gold with Disenchanting. That was the only point I was trying to make.

I think I will end up going with enchanting. I am now 68 (posted this when I was 66) and I think I will hold off on learning enchanting till I am 70. Once I am 70 I can do the quest for gold and build up enough money to "power level" enchanting. My tailoring is almost maxed now too and should be 375 by the time I am 70.
I think this makes the most sense.
I do appreciate everyone's feedback and encourage more. I am learning a lot by reading these forums, and it's been an enjoyable experience as well.
Thanks!

Ah, then I misunderstood, Lathais. DE'ing is practically worthless on my server, so I rarely even remember that (people don't hardly even ask for Void Shatters anymore, and there are usually 4-5 people spamming trade at one time).
currently, as close to the expansion as we are, yeah, you probably can't make a lot of money DEing. I really wouldn't know as I haven't logged on in about a month. However, after WotLK hits, there will be an influx of new players, returning players that are starting over cause they sold their accounts and people changing professions to get some of the cool new stuff. I would imagine then it will return to normal.
