Not really hard. Just keep popping DnD and call it good.

Yeah, that really is all there is to it.

Used to play a lot but I've been slowing down recently. I play on Agamaggan EU, seems like a pretty solid realm. GearScore hasn't taken over yet and the population seem pretty friendly. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Agamaggan&cn=Soliloquy Not a recent 80, but I abandoned him for a while and only just picked him up again.
K, you're in the upcoming list.
edit: Haha, my professions are so pathetic

Skinning is really easy to get up, but it can take days. Just go to a starting area (I did Teldrassil), kill the level 5-10 stuff, and go from there. Just slowly keep moving into higher areas. I think I did, in order-
Teldrassil
Darkshore
Ashenvale/The Barrens
Thousand Needles
Tanaris
Un'Goro
Silithus
And then you can move to Outland, and then Northrend, where it's pretty straightforward.
