Please don't bombard me with replies of go herbalism. I've got a 375 alch/herb hunter that I plan on using to funnel my toon that takes inscription. But what would be a good second profession? I've heard that with inscription enchanters will be able to put their enchants on the AH, but do I need to be an inscription/enchanter? Or can I just have inscription on one toon and enchanting on another?
As far as professions go I've got 375 blacksmith/mining, herb/alch, 375 tailor/370 enchanter, 375 leatherworker/skinner and then i've got a low lvl JC that I"m just basically putzing around with when I'm in the mood to run some extreme low lvl runs like stocks since he's only in his late 20's.
Would love to hear people's thoughts. Plan on having my DK be my inscriptionist since I like all the other professions that I've got already.

I cannot comment on the question about needing to be enchanter and inscriptor in order to sell chants, but I hope not or Blizzard will be tying two crafting professions together and I doubt they would do that.
But, if they don't, and you don't have to be both, then what's the issue? You seem to have every profession but Engineering. So . . .
Of course, if you're saying JC is in the mix because you won't be leveling that toon, then consider the fact that JC is extremely expensive, in relation to the other professions, to not only level but then obtain desired designs for. On my realm the designs go for no lower than 400g and up to 1,000g.
Edit: for clarity

You say you doubt Blizzard would do it but what about tailoring/enchanting? There's two "crafting" professions that don't need any gathering to bolster them and they fit pretty much hand-in-glove together. Sure, they aren't tied - you can take one without the other but it's pretty darned close.

Still have to "gather" your cloth if you don't want to pay out the nose for it. Just so happens that the nodes usually have hitpoints and fight back ;D
Sort of a silly question, OP. Nobody can tell you what other profession to take. You've got herbalism covered. Herbalism is the natural match to Inscription, so there is no matching profession. Go with whatever floats your boat.
Scribes will make Vellum. Vallum is paper. It's paper that can be traded. It can be traded to an Enchanter like any other tradable item (mail, face-to-face, auction), and the Enchanter can then enchant it the same as they would a weapon or a piece of armor. They can then trade the enchanted vellum. There is no mandated link between Inscription and Enchanting.
My rogue is currently leveling Herbalism...I'm at just over 350 skill at level 61. I'll probably hit 375 before I'm done in HFP. My Hunter also has 375 Herbalism and has spent a significant amount of time cruising around gathering herbs for the bank (I've got well over 1 full gulid bank tab packed with herbs). Once the patch goes live, I'll pick up Inscription on my Rogue, ship over vast quantities of herbs from my Hunter, level as far as I can (likely to cap) and then with any leftover herbs, I'll drop herbalism from my hunter and take up Alchemy. My Rogue will gather the herbs to supply her own Inscription + hunter Alchemy, and I'll have a skinner, a leatherworker, enchanter, alchemist, an herbalist, a scribe, and an up-and-coming miner/JC going into the expansion.
Why?
Because those are the professions I chose. There's no specific reason for it, although I do somewhat expect to make an insane amount of gold in the first few days after the patch.

In the past blizzard made Black Lotus (a herb for pre-tbc flasks) be BoP. So in order to make flasks you had to be herbalist and get the Black Lotus yourself. This proved to be a bad idea and blizz removed the BoP from all mats for crafting recipes.
That's until Primal Nethers, which proved to be a mistake again and they removed it again.
After blizz has repeatedly failed in each attempt to implement bop mats for crafting recipes I doubt they would do this again.

You know what they say - close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!
Seriously, I'm a bit dense today and am missing your point. I don't know of any option available in enchanting or in tailoring that requires the other profession in order to accomplish it. Allowing enchanters to sell their chants, but only if they make their own scrolls in order to do so, is marrying those two professions for sure.
On a related note, things must be getting bad for the enchanters on my realm. Yesterday I saw someone hawking the following in trade: "[fill in name of chant here] with your mats, and I'll give you five gold for picking me to do it!"

Having Primal Nethers BoP was what created the challenge in getting the crafted epics that they were used in. Without BoP nethers, you'd have what we have now...gather a few mats, a few (or many :P) primals, and grab a cheap Primal Nether from auction and you're good to go.
Removing the bind on Primal Nether was part of Blizzard's push to make getting geared easier, not an acknowledgment that making them initially BoP was a mistake.
