I'm in a guild, but potion/buff resources are mainly managed by others already. Well, item replacement may come sooner or later. It all depends on drop luck in the upcoming 25-man raids where my guild as part of a raid group is not alone anymore.
Otherwise I also have the future in mind. Blizzard promised more production profession updates, and the 2nd expansion is on the horizon, too. I have a twink ready for alchemy, so it won't be a big deal to dump that on my main. The best tailoring stuff like Frozen Shadowweave is BOP, that's something a profession like pure potion mixing doesn't have. So, like Alliera said, alchemy (without specialization) is indeed alt-status, and you're better off if you choose a profession like tailoring with BOP items on your main. Transmutation mastery was a good money maker during the first weeks of TBC, but since the proc rate has become notably worse, it's a relatively easy choice to dump it an have an alt mix your drinks;)
