I am pretty much done with my mage for awhile, and now its time to work on my DK. I am just stuck at trying to figure out what professions I want to PL...
Some actual(meaning, DK is all you play now) DK insight would be best. :)
I am stuck at Engineering and Blacksmithing, or Enchanting and Engineering.

I went mining and JC. JC and Enchanting would be interesting for the bonuses.

all proffs will be buffed 3.2 so imo w8 and see which one will give u the most, but all proffs should give u about the same amount of stat increase.

My DK is currently Alch/Herb, I've been tanking and the elixirs/flasks/Alchemists Stone (40% healing) is really helpful. :)

I went mining for the cash. Plus I farmed any of the ore I needed for gear, Titansteel Destroyer and my Hog. I also went tailoring for the cloak enchant, because there aren't many good cloak enchants for pvp. Free bags is nice too.

Same as for any other class:
Mining professions are not flexible, meaning you can not change the stat with your role (mining is only good for tanks, skinning only for dps). On the other hand they provide lots of money.
All crafting professions have basically the same stat bonus (JC is a little superior now but it will be fixed in 3.2) and are flexible, meaning you can use any crafting profession to boost both your tank and your dps spec (or you pvp spec or whatever). Just ignore the stat bonus, all give the same anyway.
So if the stats are not important, how do we chose the profession? Easy, for the other stuff it provides.
The winners there are (imho):
Enchanting - being able to DE stuff is just awesome and it saves the hassle to find enchanters every time you change gear
Blacksmithing - I love lockpicks, enter all low lvl dungeons without worrying about keys ;)
Jewelcrafting: Monarch Crab is awesome and will serve you well into Naxx, helping a lot when fresh to instances.
Take any 2 of these and you should be happy.
Or even better: Level mining (+ anything you want, e.g. skinning for money making), save all the ore and then at 80 you drop mining+X and take BS + Enchanting. Use all the ore to level BS and DE the items to level enchanting at the same time.

Well I am ALMOST 69 now... and I am wanting to start a gathering profession, was talking to some guy on my current realm, he was saying low level mining ore is literally the most profitable thing on our realm right now.. said he 'supposedly' made close to 1k mining in one day...
So, Mining, and BSing? for the titan steel stuff/

On my server, Ore is very pricey, mainly because of the mining skillups it can give to all types of miners, and the ability JC's have to crush ore into gems. It's like crack for JC's, they can never get enough and will buy up all you have if it can save them some time. You can make beastly profits from mining simple things like mithril and thorium. I was leveling my JC just yesterday and I had to go out and farm a ton of Thorium because ore on the auction house was selling for every bit of 80G a stack. Given that I made about 6 stacks in two hours, I'd say with profits like that it would be very easy to make 1K in a day...
As far as choices go, I chose mining and JC for my DK mainly for the buffs it can give and for the fact that I don't know a reliable JC. I figured I'd be more useful to my inner circle of friends that way. Also consider that my Hunter is already maxxed LWing and Skinning... >_>. My girl plays and she has maxxed alchemy + Herbalisim, her father has maxxed BS and mining, and her brother has maxxed Engineering and mining... sooo we cover a good bit of the bases.
