I'm not going to post a huge long letter on why tailors got royally hosed in cata, I will just post a few things and hope to get a response. I'm looking at this from a progression guild's PoV.
Blacksmiths can make weps, chest, shields, belts, all for 1-3 Chaos orbs. all epics and all can be made 1-3 days after cata was released, thus helping guild progression.
Leatherworkers can bake backs, chest, and belts also for 1-3 chaos orbs also able to make them 1-3 days after launch, thus helping progression.
Tailors on the other had can't make anything for 6-7 weeks OR we have to use 30+ Chaos orbs to make ONE EPIC. Feel free to check my math, Dreamcloth has a 1 week CD or we need 5 chaos orbs to make one cloth.... 6 cloth to make the legs and 1 cloth to buy the recipe. the BEST part is that the cloth is soulbound so I cant even ask another tailor to help me with the clots.
With this information we decided not to let tailors roll on orbs during guild 5man heroics because blizzard made it pointless for us to even level our craft. All our BS and Leatherworkers got all the orbs and rightfully so.
Lastly I would like to know why the leg enchants are 1 cloth each.... NO caster can get leg enchats not for a LONG time. 5 chaos orbs for a freaking leg enchant.... or I can sell ONE leg enchant a week.... wow did blizzard destroy tailoring for progression guilds and players. nothing like trying to kill bosses in CATA with WotLK leg enchants!!
