Some background info first: lvl 70 DPS Warrior, Mining maxxed, BS 290ish.
I am seriously considering dropping BS for Engineering, pretty much just for the Plate DPS Goggles. I am considering this because I am in a raiding guild and have access to equal if not better weapons than the craftables. I also have full epic armor sets for PvP, PvE DPS, and almost a full epic tanking set. I just can't seem to justify leveling Blacksmithing, when that great Engineering helm seems so easily attainable. I also am an officer in a guild with a serious guild vault, and plenty of obscure mats there for the taking (for engineering).
I guess my question is, should I max out Blacksmithing and keep mining? or Drop BS and pick up Engineering and keep mining? or... Max BS, mine a ton of mats, drop mining and pick up engineering to have both maxxed?
Please share any experience you have with any of this, as any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks Guys.
