It can be better at first to take the Barn, capturing animals is an
easy source of leather which doesn't involve spending your limited
garrison resources! I have the barn on both my leatherwrkers, although
I'll likely switch it out for the trading post on one of other of them
in time, as once you're established at max lvl it's far easier to just
buy for resources than to go out trapping.

Yep, Tanaan is the catchup mechanism which makes it almost pointless
to bother opening up heroic dungeons unless you want quests from them.
Just run round Tanaan, do some LR and bam, you've got gear miles
higher than anything on offer in the dungeons...

Yeah, VERY annoying to me as a jewelcrafter, gems don't really sell at
all well nowadays because nobody has any sockets in their gear.
Thankfully Legion is apparently getting some items with guaranteed
gemslots again, I guess they realised that making a very fun
profession not fun at all was a silly move!
