Interested in hearing your experience with this. I'm also planning on starting a solo druid (who will be converted to a raid specced druid closer to cap).
That said, I've already done one round of alch/herbalism on a shaman. I got him to 35, twinked him enough herbs to have skill for arcanite transmute, and he's now an arcanite mule. I didn't really enjoy the class that much.
Contrasting that experience, on my lvl60 main, I dropped skinning and picked up herbalism and had herbalism up to 300 in less than 3 days. Grinding up a gathering skill is trivial when you can travel in all but the highest zones with no fear of aggro.
So... the plan is to take my Tauren Druid "Alt" to 60 where he can be equally useful. Still researching talents atm.
