Should I drop my profs?

Keep enchanting. It may not seem like a great gold-maker at the moment (although the right scrolls still fetch a decent price on the AH) but come Cataclysm it'll be very useful to have for DEing quest rewards.
It seems you have most crafting professions pretty well covered so if you were to drop engineering, only blacksmithing, tailoring and inscription are open to you without having two characters with the same profession. Of those, inscription is the easiest to level up and, if used correctly, has the highest potential for making gold; blacksmithing will cost the most to level and isn't especially profitable; tailoring is a good way to use up any cloth you may have been hoarding but isn't particularly profitable, especially since its synergy with enchanting is no longer special because of the excess of enchanting mats around now.
If you're looking to make gold from professions, use your other characters: do the JC dailies; transmute a gem with alchemy every day; do the weekly WG quests on all your characters and use the honour to buy uncut gems (then cut them). Be a bit more imaginative with engineering and enchanting too: epic ammunition from the Ashen Verdict recipes should sell well; scrolls (especially older, rarer ones like mongoose) are still profitable; you can start charging for enchants in /2 instead of foolishly expecting tips (though selling enchants like that is a waste of time and energy, and should be left to nice people who think it is worth it).
Conclusion: by all means drop your professions if you want to, but don't expect to make any more gold with whatever you pick up to replace them.

Engi makes some great cash if you're willing to get the early level pets, as well as watch for new recs! I've made loads of cash from the
Yeti
, bought me 3 epic flying mounts w/ training and the chopper/traveller's from that alone. If you get the chopper rec, you can sometimes pick up nice tips from that as well. I think my highest tip for that rec was 1.5k gold. I recently made around 35k gold from being the server first for
Iceblade Arrows
, would've been more if I had had the bullets.
TL;DR: it may not be as fast of a money maker as my JC & Enchanting, but it's definitely viable.
