Since “the Junkyard” isn’t always usefull, I’m going to switch around “the Junkyard” with “Cataclysm Preparations”
So I’ll inform you of what I’m doing to get my money when Cataclysm comes out!

TSB has been set up a few weeks ago, and we’ve been in ICC twice right now. Since TSB is still new, and we are recruiting inexperienced raiders. Why Inexperienced? If we show them the ropes and gear them, they will have a greater sense of “loyalty”.

Why am I doing this? Why am I starting so slow with the guild? — only first 4 bosses down –
Easy… the Cataclysm guild changes. If we set up a “loyal” and “smart” core team now, it will help us then. I don’t mind learning ppl how to play for a month orso if we can take the fruits of our labor when it’s going to matter. Now this isn’t really gold related so let’s get that in here too.

So the golden preparations for Cataclysm.. yep here they come… yes, yes golden info here….

…

Sorry I was just having some fun here with leaving you all hanging… I need to get it somewhere right?

No but seriously now, I haven’t been playing a lot these days, but the time I have been playing i’m leveling my new druid. (lvl26) and against my own style I took Herbalism and Skinning as my professions.
When Cata comes out, a lot of people will be rolling Worgen/goblins.
I suspect after the first week has passed, and the speedlevelers are 85 we will see an increase in the demand of lowlevel materials. So I’m stocking up all herbs/leather from 1-40, and later on from 40-80. I don’t think the price will skyrocket, but I do think that all those materials will sell quickly if not expensive.
As I’ve said before I don’t like 2 gather proffesions for the time it takes away from leveling.
duration of leveling == 100% time needed
leveling with 2 gather prof == 100% + 20%
leveling with instances as tank/healer == 90%
with heirlooms == 70%
so if I level a healer in instances with heirlooms I should be able to level 30% faster then normal. Yet this is impossble due to the farming (which can’t be done well in instances)
So let’s say I still lose about 1/5 of my time gathering this and that. Yet this is worth the time, as the mats are sure sells. And with some luck sure sells for 200%-300% of their value.

oh well I’ll close up here before I’m going to start typing that makes no sense at all.
