Go tailor as Frostweave drops alot when ur a tailor.
Take enchanting as second and disenchant everything u make with tailoring and sell the mats if u dont need them. Sell only arcane dust / infinite dust the lower dust isn't worth to sell (at least on my realm) , just use it for lvling ur enchanting till u can do the ring chants.
On my realm wool/rune cloth is expensive but nether/frost weave is cheap as hell. So getting the better dust is easy.
Another gold mine is netherweave bags, cheap to make and sells for 10 to 15g a piece on my realm. I make a profit of 5 to 10g a bag depending how cheap the netherweave stacks are (normaly 5g a stack) and how many of these bag's are on the AH.
1 stack = 1 bag also netherweave cloth drops alot.

If you already have a main. Then Tailoring/Jewel crafting especially if you're considering raiding. If you're planning to do it for fun, then any profession that you think you'll enjoy. :)

I know the upgrades given by tailoring are nice, but it's not exactly game breaking.Tailoring is not a requirement to raid, and hell for that matter neither is JC.
When it comes right down to it takolin is correct in saying the difference is but a couple of spell power.Tailoring with Lightweave works out to being around 18-27sp(blahblahblah%uptime), nothing to sneeze at(don't forget 2.5g leg enchants). JC for a pure item bonus gives you 1-5sp, and is probably close to the best money maker in the game if you're smart*cough*Titanium*cough*. So lets run with it, if you're gonna min-max for the sake of min-maxing you're gonna dump professions like crazy. OtoH, if you're looking to balance out your professions based on 'what you can do best for raiding and be ahead of the curve' that's your two.
Tailoring on the other hand, you're either dense or stupid not to take it for the ease of leveling if you're a mage. You can grind all the cloth in 2 days to get lightweave, and earn yourself a few thousand gold to boot.
JCing you're looking at a huge sink, around 1500g, but the ROI on it is second to none once you're past the curve and you figure out the market. For raiding, it can also be cheaper then your second closest competitor, alchemy w/mixology). But if you're going raiding wise you may enjoy the extra flask now and then. You're gonna go that route anyway just on the off chance of extra flask procs.

Those may not be, but an application I submitted to a high-calibre raiding guild was denied because I was JC/Enchanting rather than JC/Blacksmithing as a tank. As for mages, I went with tailoring/mining for the free gear and money.
