You can save a lot of gold if you choose skinning as a pair profession for Leatherworking. Leather is a main material for all crafts so it's better to get it yourself.
At skill level 225 you can choose specialization – Elemental (leather armor with agility and attack power), Dragonscale (mail armor for caster+melee) or Tribal (leather armor for healers). Armor created using specialization patterns can only be used by crafter.
