There are definitely two categories of professions - those that you can make money with and those you can't. The changes to inscription moved it from money-making to not-money-making.
Engineering has always been its own beast. Sure, it's not a money-making profession, but it has cool gadgets and gizmos that the engineer can use. The only thing similar for inscriptionists are the stronger shoulder enchants and the once daily opportunity to shake down a stormwind merchant for 15-20g. I'd be OK if Blizzard made Inscription more like engineering by making more inscriptionist-only abilities.
Or, really the solution could be to buff inscriptionist scrolls. I was initially excited when I first made a scroll of fortitude that could buff everyone in a raid with extra stamina -- and then realized that it didn't stack with the priest fortitude buff that everyone pretty much already gets anyway. Why not make a inscriptionist scrolls that work like flasks that cost a lot to make but buff everyone independently of whatever other buffs they may have?
