Why should I bother learning first aid?

[Garfunkel]

Ever heard of Crowd Control? Fear/trap/sheep your enemy, bandage while they are CC'd. In raiding, there will be moments when you can bandage and save the healers mana. It's quicker than eating and you can do it in combat. Can you make it to 60 without? Absolutely. Is it helpful? You bet your ass. I even train FA when I play a healer class for those rare moments that I go OOM but need to patch up.

It's mandatory for pvp for sure, pve I guess not

[Crysthal]

Makes leveling faster and sometimes saves your life but it's not needed.

[Youfie]

I don't feel like I need it, honestly. I'd rather sell the cloth or use it for tailoring.

EDIT: And besides, how would you heal when in combat, unless you have a pet?

Frost Nova + Bandage.

Gouge, stun, fear, polymorph, slow and run away a bit, root etc. etc.

I remember not bothering to level my FA on my first priest during vanilla. That all changed when I lost a fight to a horde priest because he had bandages and I didn't.

[CecilJohn]

If I tailor should I still learn FA?

If I tailor should I still learn FA?

Do you even read? Yes, just farm some more. It doesn't take much.

[Undertanker]

Jesus I cant believe this was a serious question. 300 bandage or /gquit.

This, if you are serious about PvP or raiding you better have your first aid skill maxed. As a Warlock I go through several stacks of bandages weekly.
