How come Bliz has not made a profession where you can "de-stitch" items? I'm thinking where an indiviudal could take cloth/leather/mail/plate items and break them down into thier core components similar to DE'ing magic items. Miners can "prospect" ore, enchanters DE items, etc.... I think we should be able to take a leater vest and de-stitch it for the leather again.

Well they did add the more cloth collection ability in Wrath for tailors with
Cloth Scavaging
. It would be quite a task to add breakdowns to all the types of gear out there for disassembling as it were. Enchanting it's practically dice roll based on item level. Not practical use items involved in that type of item.
Technically Prospecting isn't a Miner ability, it's Jewelcrafters. And to that end it's basically the same as disenchanting for dice roll probability of results. There's only a handful of ore types to regulate drop rates from than the hundreds of outfits around.

Adding this to the game would kill enchanting, this is a really bad idea. All the other professions have their ways of getting their mats (mining, skinning etc.) and the way for enchanters to get mats is to disenchant gear. It's not like we choose to do it, it is the only way for us to get our materials. I don't think the skinners/LW'ers would be happy if everyone started to need the dead corpses for different things, such as hairs and bones and blood, because that would kill skinning and Leatherworking.
Ok, you're jumping to conclusions way too fast.
First off, they said that they would be able to break gear down, most likely grey trash gear.
They would not be able to skin corpes, and needing bodies hasn't been implemented ever, so where you are basing that I have no idea.
Trash gear is also worth a lot, every time they drop grey plate its like 5g, where do you draw the line?
If this was implemented, it would probably be like 1 bar of metal for plate, 1-2 pieces of leather for leather items, and so on.
All in all, this idea sounds great to me, I say you take it to the Blizzard suggestion forum.

Engineering items would break back down into blasting powder, tubes, etc...
The unfortunate side would be that you would have to buy the items off the AH at a cheap rate if you were in desperate need of a core mat. Not as good as the other profs as thier items drop unlike engineering items.
