No skill requirements on any WoD recipes, so far as I saw when I was
levelling a template character a couple of months back. lvl 1 skill,
oh hey, learn anything you like. 

Just checked wowhead: http://wod.wowhead.com/skill=755#recipes:0+16+1
- see all those new recipes requiring skill 1? That is not a
datamining bug, they were all available when I was skill 1 a couple of
months back. Checking a bunch more professions, almost everything new
is skill 1, I've only found one enchanting, one inscription and two
engineering recipes which require over 600 skill... and given how rare
they are they're probably bugged :-/

So what actually is the point in skilling professions any more? Just
make the stuff you want, maybe reach about skill 5, reroll to another,
rinse and repeat... only reason to skill now is if you're completist
and want old recipes, even then there's no need to go past 600! I'm
not too happy with this really, I liked having to actually work on
professions, now you just get it all handed to you on a silver
platter, only gating is daily cds on making the reagents and daily cds
to get tokens to buy the advanced recipes.
