Hello all!
I've recently started a Warlock and can't make up my mind which profession to choose. With my Hunter I do Herbalsim/Alchemy and make a lot of gold selling spare herbs and potions in the AH.
So the advantage with Tailoring is a cloth wearer I could make all kinds of great items to wear etc, but am I likely to profit from this like Herbalsim/Alchemy? I also gather there is little need for healing or mana potions for Warlocks as they can create their own 'healthstones' and can drain mana etc to replenish their mana reserve.
If I was to choose Tailoring are the items easy to come by or do they cost a lot of money from the AH? Herbalism/Alchemy or pretty self-reliant as you can find everything you need yourself.
One more thing - what other profession would acompany Tailoring? Skinning or Herbalism so I could sell my produce to get the extra gold?
Thanks,

Are these characters on the same server? If so, you don't want to take herbalism/alchemy on your warlock as you will just be in competition with your other character to sell things on the AH.
Tailoring is pretty self-sufficient as the cloth can be gathered yourself. As a second choice, again you don't want to take herbalism as you already have a character who does that. I would suggest either skinning, so you can use the leather in some of the tailoring patterns, mining as it is a great money maker so you can use all the gold you will have to just buy leather from the AH when needed, or enchanting so you can disenchant some of the greens you make in tailoring. Now, if you pick enchanting you need to treat it as a gathering skill. Ie, you need to learn how to buy greens/blues from the AH and disenchant them to sell the mats for profit. If you don't have the time/energy to learn how to do this then don't take enchanting as it is just a money sink any other way.

Speaking as a lvl 33 lock I would say take tailoring and skinning. Those were my choice and admittedly there's not alot of money in it but you do get some cash for the leather on AH and tailoring will become profitable when you get into a guild and can start to build bags for everyone. Also there's some handy stuff that you can use in tailoring like the spidersilk boots, which are awesome for the level.

UNTIL YOU GET TO A VERY HIGH LEVEL IN CRAFTING:
1) If you take tailoring, you take perfectly sellable cloth and waste it making second-rate items that nobody buys until you lower the price to below what the cloth brings.
2) If you take alchemy, you take perfectly sellable herbs and waste it by making so many potions to level that you have to sell them at a loss.
3) The same can be said for other crafting skills (Leatherworking, Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafters, Engineering).
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE MUCH EXTRA GOLD FROM A CRAFTING PROFESSION. At least not as much as you put into it.
Do you raid in a semi-serious to serious raiding guild? Do they require you to be potted/flasked for every raid? If so, then being an herb/alc can save you hundreds, if not thousands of gold. If not, you can still make good money selling pots and flasks to those people who ARE in those guilds.
Otherwise tailoring makes some good stuff, so that's not a bad choice.
