I woulf hold of for a few weeks. According to the oboards Engineering is getting a rejig soonish.
I have looked on the first 2-3 pages in the tradeskill portion of the boards and have not found info/rumor about an Eng. redo (I would really love for there to be one). If you have a link or any other info, please pass it along.

Enchanting is a famous money sink which to get to a reasonable level will take a mammoth amount of greens/blues to D/E or a big pot of money.
I took it up at level 29, big mistake, dropped it to get my 2 gathering profs back a few levels later.
I understand that Enchanting can be a big money sink (one of my alts was an enchanting mule before the blizzard fix). I understand that none of the early enchants (few exceptions) even sell.
However I currently have Eng. and the only thing that I have used it for is guns and bullets (which are very easily picked up elsewhere). I have not made any of the trinkets which require tons of mats to produce. Alot of the items produced can only be used by other engineers (which they can usually make themselves). So just like Enchanting -- alot of money in, not much coming out. I know that there are some plans that can produce items that sell for a decent price, however I'm not in a raiding guild and therefore no access to these plans.
Example This is a BOP plan from Molten Core. I have the MC attunement on exactly 0 of my 3 characters above 50 (60, 59, 54). Now I know that there are some enchanting plans that are BOP as well --
Example But there are a lot more enchanting plans that are rep rewards as opposed to eng plans that are rep related. It also seems that enchanting is a more complete profession than what engineering is at the moment.
If anyone else has anything to add, or if my line of logic is all screwed up, please let me know.
Thank you.
