Profession for a confused warrior

I've read a few old threads about this topic but it didn't quite answer my questions, so I'll give it a try here.

I'm level 19 on my warrior right now and thinking of going mostly pve endgame as a tank. I have a 60 main with tailoring and enchanting.

I've heard alchemy and herbalism is good (money making and no expenses for consumables as well as easier leveling with potions). But, I also heard mining and engineering is good for AoE tanking and holding aggro. And you have more cc and cc breaks with engineering, correct me if I'm wrong.

So, with above mentioned, what do you guys think is better for a tank? Taking into account I'm still leveling and that I have a main that can support my warrior.

If you plan to tank, engineering is a good choice. Having Thorium grenades and the engineering aoe shield for BWL trash packs helps a great deal.

Okay, so basically it's only the grenade that is good? How does it out weight all potions and money?

I recommend Skinning and First Aid.

Another good primary would be Gathering but I favor engineer because PvP is what I like.
