An available spec may not mean an ideal spec in every scenario.
It is assumed that you will have one high-level character, so crafting professions are mostly paired with relevant gathering professions for self-sufficiency. During leveling, it is also commonly suggested to take Skinning & Herbalism or Skinning & Mining for maximum profit. Due to Engineering's utility (especially for PvP) and Alchemy's consumables (for consumption or profit), they are valuable for any class.
