My
Paladin(horde): Mining / ENG. I have thought about making the switch to BS or JC instead of mining, but I was waiting until my DK had max mining so that I still had a miner
Paladin(Horde #2): ENG/Enchant.
Paladin(Alliance): Mining/Smithing
Priest: ENG / Alch
Shaman: Skin/LW
DK: Mining / Enchant
Hunter: Herb / Inscription
Warrior(low level): Herb / Alch
Mage: Enchant / JC.
Scopes *could* be worth some gold if you didn't just train the best one, and need to use it level the prof. So many people made scopes. I still have ~6-8 sitting in my personal GB that I can't even sell at half the cost of the mats.
The Ranged weapons (bow mainly) looked like a good money maker until they decided to make it a blue. Now that it is a blue, it is a joke of a weapon, as no one will go with the more expensive mats for the blue bow over the blue gun, assuming that they even go for a gun instead of just running heroics. In the time since Cata dropped, I have sold 1 gun on the AH, made 1 gun for a guildie, and I have a bow and gun in my personal GB rotting away.
The Pets! OH MAN THE PETS! I don't know how it is for goblin ENG's with their super awesome personal world destroyer, but The mechanical rabbit is another more expensive to make than what I can sell it for. By taking the mats and making the rabbit, I have devalued the investment by ~50%.
Jr Engineer goggles. I made a pair for my alts to run around with before they get a real helm. These do not sell.
Helms. BoP. No money there.
There is just nothing for us to make cash on. I'm not asking for a cash cow prof like Alch or JC. The consumable market is always going to be more lucrative. But can we for once get something that isn't flooded by all ENG's who have to make it to skill off of, and actually make gold on?
