Being able to provide a portion of my own enchants has also been nice. Luckily it didn't cost me much to level since I already had tons of enchanting mats stashed away (yeah, I know I should have sold them, but I just knew I was going to use them one day). My DK can now DE anything I get in the game (that I am able to mail to him that is) so I have slowed down leveling the skill. Now I just take the skill-ups as they come when making random enchants here and there. I have been looking at Inscription to level, but I worry that by the time I get it to a usable point, the market will have fizzed out. Honestly, I just can't see it as being a long term source of income. Once a person buys glyphs for a character, they are unlikely to ever need to replace them.

The problem with enchanting is that the mats to level it up are way too expensive. You might be able to make a little bit of cash doing it, but you'll probably end up enchanting stuff for people that they already have the mats for. Might be able to sell a few scrolls of mongoose or something. Who knows. The real money is in inscription. Don't bother having any of your toons become a herbalist. Use the auction house to buy the herbs. Right now I'm at 441 skill. I buy a stack of herbs for say, 15g (northrend herbs). I make about 6 inks for those herbs, which translates into 6 glyphs. I sell each of those glyphs for at least 10g, sometimes 20-30g. But even if I sold them all for 10g, I'd still have a profit of 45g (60g - 15g for mats). 5 minutes of work to make the glyphs and resell. Easy money :) Forget enchanting.
