Thanks for your thoughtful replies.
The plan was to have Spangles, an enchanter, drop tailoring for jewelcrafting. Enchanting is invaluable to a warrior for buffing the steady stream of incoming armor and weapons. Jewelcrafting would serve the same purpose.
The Draenae was meant to be a solo miner/herber, sending ore to Spangles for jewelling. The Draenae +15 passive to jewelcrafting complicates matters. Apparently there will be lvl 315 jewelling skills that only they can master. Ok, the new family member will be the jewelcrafter.
By processing the raw ore mined from the various deposits and mineral veins, jewelcrafters can extract gems from the ore which they can then use for their craft.
Obviously, jewellers will extract chips from ore and create bigger gems, as in DII. The key word is mined, so the DRA will also be the miner in the family, unless gem extraction from ore veins is packaged with the jewelling skill.
Although miners sometimes find gems while gathering ore, jewelcrafters mostly rely on their prospecting skills to get more of the precious stones.
This packet of information is impossible to understand, so let's say we want to roll a jeweller/miner. Which class? The theme of this thread was not to run with the herd, no faction slur intended:lol:
There is a glut of warriors at present because everyone dumped their pallies, rogues and hunters (classes that are quick to lvl) when they saw how much attention primadonna tanks were getting in MC. Blizzard has stated, however, that new instances will be designed less warrior-centric.
There is a shortage of pallies because nobody wants to healbot in the endgame, but these numbers will be augmented with the new shaman.
This leaves the hunter, priest or mage. I have not played these classes, which makes all of them attractive.
The healing passive may not be as important to a priest, but I'm not interested in healing anyway. Maybe I want a warrior alt disguised as another class.

How profound.
