Was curious which profession is considered more beneficial for a fresh lvl80 DK. Not level 80 yet, but in the process of leveling up blacksmithing and was wondering which is the "better" option for when I do hit 80.
If it makes a difference, was planning on tanking PvE with frost and dps + pvping as UH.
In the past I was also curious about this topic, since I strongly wanted to develop one of those two specialisations, until I've stumbled upon the following link:
After leveling my DK's bs to max (I obtained all icc and toc recipes), I came to the conclusion that neither of those specs matter like MaXiMuS54 said. You don't need them, simply because you obtain better gear from fos/pos farms and from the icc & toc recipes.
Note - I have never used my bs to craft my own transmog items. I don't know how flashy they look, but angrylol made a nice point.
