Leatherworking is a great proffesion for classes like rogues or hunters/shamans as it allows them to make some very useful armor for themselves at the high skill levels. As you get to the 40+ armor it starts becoming more and more mail armor as opposed to leather thus helping the shamans and hunters. Dont worry though it still has a bunch of neat armor for rogues and other leather wearers.
If you are going to pick up leatherworking your also going to want to grab skinning. Leatherworking will extremely painful to skill up without the ability to skin monsters/animals. Skinnning can also make you quite a bit of money while your leveling up making it a great beginner proffesion.
