Tailoring is a unique profession in that it doesn't give you a flat 37ish spellpower but instead a 120 spellpower proc that is probably up about 25% of the time in combat, which you could mathematically equal the same thing as 30 spellpower that's up all the time give or take a bit on proc rate but generally same idea.

Blacksmiths get 2 extra sockets so that would be 38 spellpower. what falls short is definitely engineering. This is definitely the profession that comes in worthless for pve. What's worse, it's not even profitable. Sure you can engineer FL and XT in ulduar and get bike parts, but 9 out of 10 guilds make it go to build bank anyways instead of the engineer so there goes profitability.

I know several engineers who make great money selling ammo, so there is a way to make money, you just have to find it.

The problem is, there are very few items that Engineers can make that don't require Engineering to use.

I see the following as not requiring Engineering:
* ammo
* guns
* scopes
* Aquadynamic Fish Attractors
* a couple of minipets
* the odd trinket or two; the new flashlight trinket with +hit is the only one that comes to mind
