Whats so bad about leather?
On the worgen druid it had a mountain.
I have no leatherworking so not a clue what a lot actually is:-)
I am guessing
   1) it is a few particular rare drop types making roadblocks?
   or
   2) one small item needs 200 leather, or something

   4) you have to kill and skin each one
      - this isn't that much difference to mining or herb, up until 
panda many nodes have a guardian mob anyway. If you use a gatherer, skin 
and mine or skin and herb you get both.

  Or something else?  I elected not to do leatherwork on the druid but 
may pick it up soon. like sometime this decade.
As a pure gatherer I found the worgen druid with skin/herb just gathered 
flowers and skinned like crazy.
Something about a blood spattered wolf gutting everything in sight to 
get to a bunch of daisies appealed.
On the other hand, that wolf was also a cat after catnip :-)

Flight form + worgen skin speed was quite smooth.
I think there may have been a guild perk helping out ?
