Gnomish Battle Goggles, Rocket Boots Extreme and Fel Iron Bombs can also be crafted by engineering.

Herbalism could be viable, although idk how high lifeblood scales since mop arrived.

Engineering is viable at 60 due to rocket boots and bombs, the head is a no go really as you get the 3 gem socket one from Zangarmarsh Scout's Hood. For PvP there are also viable Stamina trinkets if needed. I would say if you went Gnome, engineering is BiS.

Herbalism is also viable, as Lifeblood at this level gives 240 haste rating for 20 secs on a 2 min CD (40 haste rating over time - 24% melee haste and more energy regen), which is also great for burst.

Skinning gives Mastery of Anatomy, a permanent 40 crit rating (2.86% crit).

Do not discount Alchemy if you use Elixirs, they give a nice bonus to them and you also get Alchemist's Flask which at level 60 is a permanent 16 agi boost. Added together they could be as effective as Skinning/Herbalism due to scalings/buffs increasing them too.

My personal choice would be for Gnome - Engineering and Herbalism. Any other race - Skinning and Herbalism. This based purely on damage/burst.

As always, it depends on situation and whether you prefer min/maxing for PvP/PvE/all round.

mrdoobry could not have said it better myself. 100% agree with this combo of proffs.

you could get a leather shoe with booster. The pattern is obtainable only by char above 65, but the shoes are boe...

Engineering is a no brainer. One word : Bombs. But it's so much more than that.

Then it's Skinning or Mining I guess. Skinning gives you 2.86% crit though it doesn't improve your overall damage by this much, a little bit less than that; say roughly 2.5% or so. Mining is about 6% total hp increase (most characters have around 10'000 hp now), and works with %stats increasing buffs. So I like mining anyway, good gold income too. I would say it's a no brainer too, but it depend the way you play, I wouldn't trade it for skinning.
