Only thing against that, is, if Blizz actually listen to the
overwhelming feedback that they destroyed professions this time out,
they might return to the old method which actually worked some time in
the future - and at that point it'll be a bit of a pain to get back up
to 700 ;-) 

I've kept JC because I have a near complete recipe collection and
don't want to throw it away, especially if they actually do fix
professions someday - there's little reason to change profs anyway, as
it's not like anything's better than what you've got already.
Inscription is the one profession not gutted, because glyphs are still
actually useful (and can't be made by buildings) - even they don't
really take any effort to collect the recipes now, but still, every
other profession I have is pretty much identical, very little worth
selling so all I do with them is make stuff for my own characters. 

Hurts badly when I used to love crafting gems to sell, but when they
barely sell for over vendor price, else I have to wait for 2-3 days
worth of cds to make one (which doesn't sell even then because nobody
gets sockets any more), urgh.

I dropped the lumber mill when I was at about 4k and only going
upwards - I've never actually traded anything to resources, i get them
so fast via missions now it doesn't matter. Gotta love getting a
mission which I can send 3 scavengers on, and so it comes back with
900+ res :-D

The tier 3 bunker gives exactly thre same follower gear as tier 2 did
- just about none, enoy your 1 scrap every 4 hours :-P I may give it
another try now I'm not resource starved though, as in fairness, I got
sick of wasting resources on it and so didn't always have work orders
running. The free seal actually turned out not to be something I
missed at all, now I've got little use for apexis crystals, and
garrison resources are plentiful, I tend to just buy all my seals on
the lowest cost of 3 currencies (gold being the other), and don't
really miss the price. 

And there's very little to actually spend the seals on now I'm
reasonably geared, it just feels a waste spending them on bosses where
I already have everything I want and am only hoping for a rare
warforged or socket proc! So at present I'm mostly saving them so I
have plenty to spend when Blackrock Foundry comes out (or if I'm brave
and try a Normal mode pug).

Aviana's wings, yep, that item is amazing! I'd also say that for
levelling characters, having the bunker/war mill is very worthwhile,
as the bonus to quest rewards upgrading is very noticeable, and I
found several of my Nagrand quest rewards lasted me a good while at
100. No need to keep it once you finish questing though.
