DPS Warrior Professions Question

OK, I hope I get some educated and honest opinions here. I have a Human Fury warrior whos current professions are Blacksmithing and Enchanting. I'm really interested in taking up JCing but truly unsure which to drop since I've seen warriors with JC and either BS or Enchanting.
Here's my thoughts keeping the 3.2 changes in mind. Tell me what you guys think.
With BS I get two extra sockets which will enable +20STR x2 (for sake of arguement lets say I use the Dragons eyes which will be +34STR x3 in other gear sockets if I keep BS and go JC). This of course equates to +80AP for the extra sockets and even more with BoKs.
With my enchanting the only change/buff is an increase to +40AP to each ring slot or +80AP total.
Here's my math, thinking and reasoning, please correct me if I'm wrong:
With JC/Enchanting combo I'll get +80AP from ring enchants, an additional +42STR or +84AP using the 3 dragons eyes above normal +20STR gems. I will lose the two BS sockets though from gloves and wrists which is a +40STR loss. Also keeping in mind that enchanting has always been a decent money maker by both doing enchants as well as selling enchanting mats on the AH from DEing stuff.
With JC/BS combo, I'll lose the +80AP from the ring enchants, but gain +40STR with the two sockets which equates to more than +80AP once you have BoKs. I'll still get the same benefit of the dragons eyes usage so that basically gets canceled out. BSing has never been a HUGE money maker and even with the new patterns, I don't forsee if being a huge money maker still, which naturally makes me want to favor keeping enchanting.
So in short:
JC/Enchanting = +80AP from rings, +42STR or +84AP from the 3 dragons eyes.
JC/BS = +42STR or +84AP from the 3 dragons eyes and +40STR from the 2 additional sockets.
If my numbers and thinking is correct, and again please correct me if I'm wrong, the obvious choice would be JC/BS since you're getting a true +82STR whereas with JC/Enchant you're only getting a true +42STR and with BoK's you'll be getting a lot more with the +82STR.
Any opinions, suggestions or corrections would be greatly appreciated. Is it really worth it to give up the money making incentive with enchanting for the additional STR/AP bonus I'll get if I stick with BS and JC?

Don't forget that if you're fury, you get 10% more AP from STR, so the AP enchants might not be as valuable...
JC/Enchanting = +80AP from rings, +42STR or +84AP from the 3 dragons eyes.
JC/BS = +42STR or +84AP from the 3 dragons eyes and +40STR from the 2 additional sockets.
Turns into
JC / Ench:
+42 Str (92 AP) from jewels, and + 80 AP from rings = 172 AP
vs.
JC / BS:
+42 Str (92 AP) from jewels and +40 Str (88 AP) = 180 AP
At least if I did the math correctly...
So, 8 AP isnt going to make or break your build / gear. In that case, I would really pick what you feel you would like to do the most.
As you said, dont expect to make too much money off of blacksmithing.
The thing Ilike about my BS / JC combo though, is the flexibility, and its also really nice for offspec (especially the JC trinket).
I probably would stick to enchanting, as leveling BS can be a money sink, the 8 AP don't really justify the change, and, well, disenchanting can be a moneymaker...
Edit: I just saw that he already mentioned the +STR / AP thing.. gawd, give me eyeballs..
