Add the tailoring profession under section Caster DPS / Healing. The
Lightweave Embroidery equates to about a 24DPS increase for casters.
Overall I've found this to be a very good reference to determine what professions are best for how you want to spec your toons.

Actually, I read on either the Lightweave Embroidery page, or the haste to cloak enchant, but that being one of the only notable boosts for tailoring, it's kind of not worth it. Getting the best haste to cloak enchant equates to about 1.4 less dps, which isn't really alot of reason to keep tailoring just for the lightweave...
It's not worth it in my opinion..
Math, as posted by Casualblair:
Assumptions:
1) Casting 2.5 second, direct damage spells only (haste will be more popular, so 3s spells aren't adequate)
2) Internal Cooldown is 45 seconds, 50% proc rate
Therefore:
DPS of Lightweave Embroidery = (1200+1000) / 2 / 45 = 24.4 DPS
45s / 2.5s = 18 casts exactly. 50% proc rate makes this 18.5 casts on average to proc.
18.5 casts x 38 spell damage (100% coefficient) = 703 / 45s = 15.6 DPS
Keep in mind that the spell damage applies to other casts (Scorch, DOTs, etc) but overall the dps increase is less.

Now the above poster made an interesting point about haste. Assuming you do enchant cloak haste, this is 23 haste rating which equals .7%. And also assuming you do 2000dps without either enchant, the lack of haste is a loss of 14dps maximum (haste scales negatively as you accrue more).
This makes Tailoring 10.4 DPS (minimum) and Enchanting 29.6 DPS (average)
Until tailoring gets a buff that does not replace an already satisfactory enchant, tailoring is sub par.
