Im thinking of making a hunter with dual gathering professions to level up and make money to funnel to a warrior main. I just don’t know what would be the best professions for my warrior leveling, if money is not a problem.
If you plan on lots of PVP, Blacksmithing and Engineering.
If you plan on mostly PVE, Blacksmithing and Alchemy.

At first there will not be a lot of gold in the game so selling matts will be hard I would think. You might want professions that will help you as you level. Also professions will be nothing like todays, they will be very useful at all levels. Once them game has been out a month or two, maybe longer then you can have a alt for gathering herbs and mining will make some gold for sure.
This and…
if you plan on being a hardcore raider, Engineering, and “Blacksmithing or Alchemy”.
Engineering has all a lot of trinkets and items that help both pve and pvp.
IMO Blacksmithing is a bit gimped in Vanilla. Most items can just be made and traded. You really only need maybe 1 or 2 per guild.
I think people in this thread are sleeping on enchanting. Everyone in the game will need enchants and will offer tips for providing them. Plus disenchanting is extremely useful.
If you’re going to be funneling in mats from your other character I would take some combo of alchemy, engineering, and enchanting.
Enchanting can be good (my warlock in vanilla was Tailoring/Enchanting the whole way), but it wants a commitment in late game to getting rare recipes, and competition for customers on my server was heavier than I wanted to bother with. it was very nice, however, to be able to disenchant unwanted/old gear for valuable reagents, rather than vendoring them for a pittance.

Youre welcome
Apparently i cant post links(?) F••k••s!
Im thinking of doing a banker that does herbs and skinning and just saves everything. Then on my blacksmithimg/engineering characters do mining, what do you think about that?
Plus dont locks have a soul shard bag they can tailor? So its almost like objectively better to roll warlock tailor/enchanters
Like so many other things in a game, pick what you like. If you like it, you will stick with it more readily.
I recall there are some points in all craft skills where you will need to make a lot of yellow items and hope rng gives you the skill rank to get to the next tier of recipes. For example, I enjoy tailor/enchanting or alchemy, but not blacksmithing/mining. I never stuck with ‘non caster’ professions.
You can’t post clickable links, but if you put them in backquotes you don’t have to mangle them: classic.wowhead.com

You will need engineering for your hunters amo, probably so engineering for warrior and blacksmith like most said.
Warlocks definitely want to go Tailoring. The 2nd profession is going to depend on your friends and your server situation. Per posts above, for lots of PVP or hardcore raiding, the 2nd profession is probably best as Engineering.
Enchanting is good for a bit more passive income via disenchanting items, and for active income if you grind dungeons for those rare enchants and are willing to hawk them on the trade channels.
The thing is, both Tailoring and Engineering involve creating items only you can use (bind on pickup, or requires Engineering). I am not aware of any enchants you can only apply to your own gear.
You can stockpile your gathering for a little later after release. Money will come, be assured of that.
Although professions may make something that’s useful though the leveling range, they’re not useful to the crafter. Anything you can make “at level” you will most like not have the mats for, or they’ll be very expensive. As a 60, making stuff for other lower levels, that’s different. But if you’re a BS expecting to make your own armor at 45, that’s a false hope.
I gained two levels just farming mats for my Robe of the Void, but that was a top level piece and worth the effort. But that piece is an outlier compared to most of the patterns and plans.
Hunters are the kings of farming. Yeah, mages can AOE farm, but it’s still not as fast and efficient as hunters grinding certain mobs with no down time. Back in Vanilla, I could clear 200-300gph.
Knowing this, I’d advise you to make your hunter self-sufficient. Do mining and engineering. You can make your own ammo, and in the event you end up raiding or pvping on him, bombs and jumper cables are great!
If you make your own ammo, then the hunter costs you almost nothing. Also if your hunter is just a money maker, take it BM/MM. This increases your efficiency, and lowers your down time.

Not enchants, but Feral BiS tanking trinket is from enchant. Enchanting is not needed to equip it though, so you can drop enchanting once acquired.
