Just for information, in WoD they're extending the range of catchup
features in professiosn though - you can already skill
mining/herbalism in Pandaria from lvl 1 (getting crap that you can
convert into useful stuff at a rate of 10-1); that'll extend to the
whole game based off what I've seen in datamining. And they've been
talking like they plan to do something similar with crafting
professions too, no idea how that'll work, but it's about time, some
are a total nightmare to level up at present.

JC is my favourite profession at present, got it on my main and I'm so
glad it worked that way as it's great. Only problem is, in WoD there
will be far fewer gem slots, so it'll be a lot less good for gold than
it is at present. Hopefully they'll add more useful craftable
rings/necks/trinkets and the like - we used to be able to make epic
rings/necks back in WotLK but they've gone lately which is a shame,
this'd be a good time to add them back imo. (I have no idea how we'll
skill JC if nobody wants gems btw, usually you make tons of cheap gems
that don't really sell even when everyone does have sockets for
them...)

Good luck finding those for less than insane money, however ;-)
Thankfully, you can now learn those glyphs through research, it used
to be they were very very rare, and so also very very expensive...

I do like inscription though, it's nice being a really low lvl,
researching a recipe and finding, hey, the lvl 90s all want this, I
can make money! I took it on a lone character on a random server that
I made to get some guild reward pets from joining a random guild that
had rewards mine doesn't; of course, I needed money to buy said
rewards, and inscription was by far the best way to be able to afford
the pets as soon as I hit exalted :-)

Yeah, that'll be a headache for sure, I've been lucky enough to pick
up a number of the BoE ones on my main (my scribe is only lvl 85), I'm
nottoo sure I'll get that skeleton one anytime soon though. 

That said, if you're a real completist and want even the useless
recipes, JC is worse. Over a year of dailies to get all Cata recipes,
with no way to reduce the timescale. I have no idea why they didn't
add an equivalent to Wrath's Titanium dust which you could convert to
tokens for that era of recipes, it's daft really. I only completed my
Cata recipes a couple of months back, on my main, who played (and did
dailies) right through Cata...
