Some help for a noob

[Ashock]

First aid can be done in combat provided you're not being pounded on. That being said I use first aid as a dps warrior to heal quickly if I know I'm going to be out of line of sight of the healers for fights to get me topped off and back into combat. Food is strictly out of combat use. Other times if I don't feel like eating to go to the next target I'll do a quick bandage before charging.

Alchemy is a good profession but grinding the mats for the bigger health potions can sometimes be a pain. Shalandrax is a herbalist/Alchemist and I love being able to boost her strength, agility, fortitude, and crit chance easily.

Paladins are good soloing choices as well but do not have the melee options of a warrior. They also kill slowly but are also very hard to kill. ;)

Ahh ok, so Pally is out. I do not mind dying as long as I will take many with me ;)
So herbalism/Alchemy is for healing pots too or strictly for stat boosters? Which profession is best for making money? Are healing pots easily buyable provided enough money? Also, I have always disregarded high AC in D1 and 2. Can I continue to do that in WoW too? Stat boosters are more important than AC, right?
What is the fastest way to travel from place to place. So far I've only seen that stone that takes you to your home hotel and also Griffons that only seem to be usable in a few places. Is there something faster? No waypoints, right?

I will be starting a new warrior on Stormrage probably tonight, so I want to get things right at least at the start ;-) Too bad about my lvl 10 on Rexxar, but I guess in the scheme of things it is a small matter.
