Any professions will work. All depends on what you personally need.

Many people pair up their professions with one gathering and one crafting as follows:
-
Mining
- with
Blacksmithing
,
Engineering
or
Jewelcrafting
-
Herbalism
- with
Alchemy
or
Inscription
-
Skinning
- with
Leatherworking
-
Enchanting
- with
Tailoring
Pairing professions in this manner can be useful since the gathering profession provides the materials for the crafting profession. You certainly can buy the materials to level two crafting professions from the Auction House, but be prepared to spend A LOT of gold.
If you have a stable of alts on that server, definitely go for whatever profession you need to fill gaps. Some people will have multiple of one profession on a server to take advantage of the Daily Cooldowns.
Personally, I tend to pick my professions by what class the toon is, thinking about how each class would benefit from the profession. My
Warrior
for example, has
Mining
and
Blacksmithing
, but that is just my preference.
My
Warlock
's tend to be:
-
Enchanting
with
Tailoring
to make Cloth Armor
-
Mining
with
Engineering
to make Engineering Goodies, especially those that are
Gnome
or
Goblin
because I feel that it fits their race qualities
-
Mining
with
Herbalism
for those toons who I want to get the gathering xp boost from gathering ores and herbs

Hello there!
You said you are playing Destruction Warlock. My first character was Warlock, and it is still my main character. I myself picked Tailoring / Enchanting, because they are really going well. (You can disenchant items you made with tailoring.) Another thing is that, you will enchant your items, no need to spend golds on AH or fees! However, with Warlords of Dreanor, enchanting will change a bit.
I think Destruction Warlock is about managing your procs while using your chaos bolt. Therefore I will put my vote on Tailoring (
Lightweave Embroidery
) and Engineering (
Synapse Springs
).
Jewelcrafting and Engineering are most gold consuming professions without Mining. I just want to add that I really hated Frostweave Cloth farming for Tailoring, be prepared for it!

Herbalism/Alchemy and cooking has helped me save a lot of money on flasks/potions and food and earn a little bit as well

@OP- If you're anywhere as lazy as I am, then you'll want Engineering. Having a gob glider and nitro boost is just too good in terms of convenience.
I personally went Tailoring/Enchanting back in BC and never switched out...again, due to laziness (cbf to spend money and time to level a new prof, when the two I currently have make me money on a regular basis).

With WOD, alts, followers and garrisons, it does not really matter anymore. For example I have long had Alchemy and Enchanting on my main, and Herbalism and Inscription on an alt. I have no alchemy hut in any garrisons but I have multiple echanter shacks and herb gardens to maximise mat generation.

There's no profession bonuses anymore so just go for whatever you need. No need to be tailoring/enchanting strictly anymore, but then they are both good professions to have. Right now it boils down to what you want to make for yourself, and what you want to buy off the auction house.
I typed all this out and then realised this was a necro, ah well ;p

but I have multiple echanter shacks and herb gardens
I know it's a necro, but I feel the need to point out something very obvious:
Every single garrison has an herb garden. You don't have to open it or upgrade it, but it comes standard with the land, kinda like how dirt comes with a house in real life.
