This was a fantastic guide! I've always wondered how things would have helped me out had I gone with different profs. Thank you.

On my Mage I've chosen Herbalism and Alchemy. I enjoy Alch because not only can I make potions/elixirs for my guildies, but I can use my herbs, potions last twice as long AND I can use the Mercurial Alchemists Stone, which increases the effect of healing and mana potions on me by 40%. That is VERY useful for me since 1. I need all the help I can get in terms of health and 2. I go through mana quite quickly (being a fully Arcane Mage).

I also have the Medallion of Heroism trinket, which I have macro'ed with my Lifeblood bonus from Herbalism. Now every 3 minutes I can get a quick burst of 1500 HP plus 2000 more over 5 seconds. It's not a lot at 80, but it has helped me get out of a few close calls.

Now that I'm 450 in Herb and Alch I find that every 3 days I've been discovering new recipes in Northrend, and otherwise I've been farming herbs to sell in AH :) Eventually I'll have enough for dual spec and an epic flyer! *crosses fingers*
