I have done a couple of things after choosing dragon scale. I think that puts me about 340LW. I have a Lvl 62 Hunter and I'm becoming worn out from all the "not really getting anything from leather working" I've been doing. Truthfully I've not worn much that I've made maybe 5 items for a short bit. I have used the better quivers but I mean really I only need one! So I do have skinning and do skin as I play but I'm still having to buy a ton of mats to make things. Now that I have dragon scale I am finding it hard to get the scales in the correct amounts to go further.
My question is... will continuing to dredge through with LW be worth it anytime soon? Is there for instance some crazy good gear I can make later that I can't get anywhere else?

Letherworking is it worth it?Follow
The level 78 blues in LK are worth having imo, as are the
wrist enhancements. But thats a long wait. Speaking more
to your present state, the good TBC recipes are all 350-375,
most iirc req level 70 to wear, and many require lots of
hardish to get mats. The low 70 LK recipes were pretty decent
But frankly with all the questing rewards not all that needed.
If this is your only leather wearing character you may well
want to consider a change. But to what? Either you drop
skinning as well and lose the crit buff or face having no
gathering skill that feeds your second profession. Imo that
rules out JC,Eng,BS,Alch,Inscrpt,leaving Tailoring,Chanting,
or a second gather (herbs,mining).
Tailoring makes little sense unless you want the carpet and
to make bags. So its either Chanting or another gathering.
Both are gonna involve a lot of either money or time. If
you have the time I would favor mining but ymmv.

I wouldn't worry about Dragonscale Leatherworking. I'd find a cheap LW pattern to get you to 350 and then go to Borean Tundra and train GM leatherworking at 350. It's a lot easier to get from 350-375 using WotLK patterns than it is to get through that same stretch with TBC patterns. Remember...350-375 TBC skillups came from end-game stuff. 350-375 with WotLK is just getting started.
Leatherworkers have access to the bracers augments, and they also get reduced mat cost on self-only leg kits (ie. currently Frosthide Armor Kit that you can trade/sell on auction requires 2 Nerubian Chitlin and 2 Arctic Fur. You can put the same stat bonus on your own legs as a LW for just 2 Nerubian Chitlin). Blizzard set up most of the professions in WotLK as they currently stand so that the benefits to having the skill are in the gear augments you can make for yourself, not in specific pieces of gear. The gear you make is typically BoE, meaning you have players choosing professions based on something other than being able to make BoP gear that will be obsolete by the second tier of WotLK raids.
