I'd recommend keeping both until you complete the epic mount quest.

Here's my tale: I was a skinner/herbalist until L58. I had 500G, and thought that it was time to drop skinning and take up alchemy. There were reasons for doing this at that time. I was tired of having to pay out good gold for potions, and it seemed that I always needed more potions...

So I switched, and spent ALL of that 500G power-levelling my alchemy skills. I didn't have enough herbs banked to level all the way, and I didn't want to take the time to farm more.

Then came the quest
- I farmed owlbeasts for their blood - no problem
- then I had to get black dragonscales - I used to be a skinner, but now I have to buy them?!?! Farm gold (trudge, trudge)
- 10 ELixirs of Shadow Power. OK, I'm an alchemist. Farm more gold to buy the recipe. Farm ghost mushrooms to make the porions. Good thing I kept herbalism.
- 6 Brilliant shards and 25 Dark Iron Ore? Being neither an enchanter nor a miner, I went back to farming gold to buy them.
- 3 arcanite bars. OK, I can transmute them, but I need thorium and arcane crystals. Farm gold to buy the mats, then 5 days to transmute everything, after making a sorcerer's stone.
- I have to buy Xorathian Stardust at 150G!?!?! back to farming money.

So, if I'd kept my gold and not powere levelled Alchemy, I wouldn't have had to go around farming gold all the time. I would have had enogh cash to buy all the things I couldn't do myself.

However, If you want to drop a profession, I suggest dropping skinning and picking up engineering. Get your mining to 300, so you can mine the Dark Iron, Thorium, and Arcane crystals you'll need for your epic mount quest.

i would also suggest to drop skinning and take up engineering. but know that engineering may not make you much money, it is mostly self-use.

also, even if you have mining, like ohmikegod, if you don't go mine your own ore but instead buy off the AH to powerlevel it, you'll at first feel like you used precious money for it instead of its helping you to make money..or at least, keep the money you had.

if you decide you really just want to keep making money, you certainly can keep both too.

tailoring is also another tradeskill that you can take, since it doesn't require a separate gathering skill. however, some warlock tailors i talk to have said, it also is not as useful in the end recipes as they thought it would be.

What he said. WHen you make that one uber-robe, you don't need it for yourself any more.

And then there are the few Warlock tailors who listen to people telling them that the ends aren't worth it, go for it anyway, and can sell their 'extras' on the AH for a tidy profit.

Bags are always in a pretty high demand, after all.

The real problem is that the mats for those big bags sell for more than the bags themselves do. Tailoring is good if you farm your own materials.

It's the same with my alchemy - Stonescale eels sell for 1G each, but I need 3 of them (+ other materials and flasks) to make a potion that sells for 2G. What I do is make the potions for our guild runs and sell the fish I don't use. I never sell the potions, as that would be a loss of income.

Not quite. The Robe of the Void is awesome, but after you make the one for yourself, you don't really need tailoring any more.
