The enchanted gold Bloodrobe is a quest reward. You don't have to be a tailor to get it.
But it requires a tailored item as a component. Either ya spends ya gold, or you farm the recipe, make the Robe of Arcana, make a bunch more to sell, to get your Bloodrobe.
Since you'll be fishing up bolts of cloth, anyhow, you can level tailoring cheaply.

A warlock does not need to become a tailor before 57 if all you want out of tailoring is the robe.
Yeah, I did the same thing. Let me tell you, it was a pain to level up tailoring, farm the Robe's components, then re-learn herbalism. The Robe is worth it, though. At least pre-patch, most warlocks turn to tailoring at some point.
A bad point is that you'll have two things to do with the cloth you find - level tailoring or level first aid (as a warlock, you'll want first aid: life tap, life tap, life tap, bandage).
