Mining/Herbalism obselete

After I've maxed out mine and herb garden on my first 100 char and I 
have 3 more chars running towards 100 I feel that mining and herbalism 
are obselete.  I mean...  My main (alchy/enchanter) has mined +1000 
blackrock ore and +800 true iron ore from his mine since the release of 
WoD.  My gatherer druid is bored.  And my 92 scriber learned the last 
glyphs this morning.  Also.  I offered all my ore to a friend in another 
guild.  He has BS and engineering on his main.  He simply denied as his 
ore takes 20-25% of the space in his reagent bank and his stacks of ore 
keeps growing at lightspeed (same for me).

Well.  I have a feeling that there will be a material nerf very soon.  I 
dont know how Blizzard will do it.  But some of the fun parts of the 
gathering/crafting circus is gone.
So now I consider skipping herbing and mining and picking leatherworking 
and either inscription or tailoring on my druid...

I'd say herbalism isn't obsolete yet, all the crafter alts will find
it a lot faster to get to 92 than to 96, plus herbs seem to be used
way more - as a jewelcrafter I keep needing them, and even when I'm
cooking, I need them, plus my tailor needs them every day, really
quite annoying, as my herb garden does not supply enough for my own
use, I have to keep buying them :-( And this is before I level my
scribe or alchemist, I didn't think it even worth bothering yet since
until I can get them herbs, I can't do anything with them, and 96 is a
bit of a grind.

Mining on the other hand... well I do use all my Blackrock ore (got
about 60 in the bank, but it goes quite fast) but True Iron is
worthless to me really, only need a very small amount, got 250+ in the
bank and I sold 500+ on the AH in the first days before prices dropped
so low that it was pointless. If I could prospect it for Taladite
shards or something (get 10 to turn into the actual gems, maybe)
that'd help!

Stick with herbing and mining until your Garrison is done, combine it 
with a trading post.  You'll be thankful that the thousands of garrison 
resources you'll need will come so much easier with all the work orders 
pumping them out.
