Well gloves are a red herring - there aren't comparable tailoring ones.
The other big thing (the reason I would have gone tailoring from the start) is it allows you to get all of your loot *Right NOW*. Hydross is a nontrivial dps check - you could use the FSW to help kill him. Also, it takes the randomness out of you loot. It will take an average of 2.5 months to get those boots once Hydross is on farm, and who's to say you will get the first pair. You are unlikely to get the first boots AND the first chest, it might be 5-6 months before they have dropped in sufficient quantities for everybody to get theirs.
Also, if you have the time and $$ to go tailoring, you can pass those items to somebody who doesn't. This increases the power of your raid, and allows you to save your DKP for items you can't get outside of raiding.
