Which Professions for Enhancement?

First of all, I'd like to apologise if there's already a post discussing this on the forums. I didn't check past the first few pages, because I'm lazy, and the search feature is a pile of crap so I just made a new topic.
Second of all, I'd like to actually ask the question; which professions would benefit an Enhancement Shaman the most? I really can't decide between Engineering for the Goggles and Leatherworking for.... various leathery / maily things. I looked on MaxDPS.com and found that a lot of the leatherworking BoP items aren't as good as badge gear, while Goggles are better than anything you can get raiding, but is it worth going Engineering just for the Goggles, when Leatherworking can make other useful things? And just how good / bad is the Ebon Netherscale set? It seems more Hunters like it than Shamans.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has an opinion on this.

That's definetely a wise idea, Makalu, but I think you're wrong about the goggles. Checking on MaxDPS.com (I know it probably seems like I follow this site a bit too strictly, but I don't, it's just a guideline, but it's confusing me with this), the first Mail goggles you can make (Surestrike v2.0) are much better than T4, even edging out T5 by about 1.3 DPS. And if you can fork over enough money to get the pattern for Surestrike Goggles v3.0, well that's Sunwell quality, so 'nuff said.
All in all, this makes me want to go Engineering. But then I think about the things from LW, the BoP epix, the trash recipes from SSC, leg armors etc. and I wonder, is it really worth losing all that for some goggles?
For the sake of argument, let's assume I'll never have monetary issues and so two gathering skills is not needed. I'd just like to figure out which is a better choice between Engineering and LW before I think about that.

Herbalism/Alchemy.
with the new emphasis being placed on int (which is a guardian elixir) and agi (which is battle elixir) you are very well off to get your int/agi up high.
