Think it out for a bit, alchemy rox, i love it, but man o man you bone yourself listing to somebody telling you it is useless.

Also, since the warrior is usually the first to die, jumper cables arent very useful for them
Wrong, a good Portecion spec warrior shouldnt be the first to die, usualy it is the mages/warlocks/rouges to go they strip hate form the tank the most and cant take it like a good warrior should, while i am not saying that jumber cables is a relevent reason to go in to engenering, just that the warrior dies first issue.

Engineering doesnt have any heals besides the side effects of recombobulation. All the good warrior items (guns, ammo, and shields) are tradeable. There is also a variety of dynamite which can be used by nonengineers.
Then you are just choosing not to use your engenering in PVE not becasue it is useless becacue you either choose not to or dont know how to use it effectivly. Occasional? death ray, you should be using that every time it is done with cooldown. Great PvE uses, Pets drangoling, chicken both rock in pve but are next to useless in PvP, Giant AoE Bombs like the big one are fantastic for grabbing and keeping hate as well as mild Croud controle with the daze period. Goblin Sapper charges seem to be made for Warriors. The teleporters rock, they maxamise the area you can call your home, allowing for fast world travle(since you can have hearth set to one contenent and teleporter for the other)
while you can trade it, cant use unless your are a engeneer, notice the 44 Block(always carry a extra sheild when using froce reflective disk, it breaks often)

Herb alch is good, dont get me worng i have 2 toons that use it, I am more thrown off by the folks that chime in and give a perspeciteve that is far form informitive, or in some cases WRONG.
remember with alchemy that anybody can use potinos engenering items for the most part take engenering to use. When you pull your first aracne crystal out of the ground with mining and sell it for 20 gold, usualy folks feel confedent that they made the right choise. My alchemest makes potions for my Gnome Warrior Engeneer buddie, in a fight he is the last one standing, usualy becasue he chose to use the potions i gave him, and the engenering gear he made, the big diffrence is when he dies or a time peroid is over, he still has his engenering items, the alchemy buffs are long gone.
Realistly I say Ignore folks that tell you to pick one or the other, the real thing to do is to try them out yourself, or look thought the items that the trades produce and pick based off that.
