Making G vs. Getting GearFollow

So I just started a new toon (cow shammy) and had to go over the job picking again. Being around TB for the start I picked up skinning. But I was torn for my other one. My other toons were a lock, warrior, and mage. Now those are easy. My last one was my mage and I went with enchanting/herbs instead of the usual enchanting/tailoring for the squishies. Then I dropped herbs at 70 and spent a day maxing out tailoring. That was easy cuz I had just been sending all my cloth to two banks i had on the server. The herbs really helped my get more G thoughout the grind and I was able to get my mount right at 40, 60, and first flying mount right at 70 with some G to spare.

So I guess my question is, is it better to get 2 money making profs (i.e. skinning/mining) for my shammy? Or just get LW now so I don't have to lvl it up later? Or for a shammy would I even need gear from LW at 70?

If you enjoy and excel at running instances, you need not get a crafting profession. You'll eventually get the armor and weaponry you want. Alchemy is probably the only crafting profession you might consider in that case.
