I would do dungeons only because you get added experience with it too.

I am about to start leveling a warrior tank and i wanted to know if crafting gear is worth to get while leveling or just do dungeons to get the gear?
Crafting is fun, try it :)
Even tho you fall behind with it as you level, never fall too far behind - you'll never get it up again!
Not true, It is way easier and faster (and more monotonous) if you level it when you are a higher level. You will have a faster mount, you will not get aggro as easily and the mobs in the area you are trying to farm will be killed easier. To address the OPs question: I mostly level 1-80 then get my proffessions up. My friend does the opposite, she maxes her proffessions before she is high enough level to use half the stuff she can make. I have a couple 80's. Her main is level 60. She started playing WoW before me.
Do dungeons.
Do get your crafting up If you get bored.
Don't grind your crafts just for gear you will soon replace.

I like leveling professions at the same time as my character. It's just preference though. 99% of items you might want to craft for yourself can just be bought on the AH anyways.

I agree with Brokle. AH can be a great place for upgrades if you're lucky with timing.

Its never worth buying leveling gear in the AH, I would level your profession as you level because imo it really sucks and very boring to level a profession at 80 when you dont wanna waste time in barrens gathering all those ores. Another thing, dont really stress about gear that much because its just not worth stressing out over, if you get armor while LFDing then fine but dont go out of your way to upgrade something as you level. My Shaman, hunter, and warrior had some pretty crappy gear hitting outlands but that didnt matter the moment I did the first few hellfire quests. My paladin on the other hand had alot of lvl60 epics and such hitting outlands and it ended up being a bigger waste of time than just plowing through and not really worrying about gear. But of course this was all before LFD so finding a grp back then took longer than just queueing up and quest while you wait.

Don't use absolutes.
You have to consider how much it costs, how long it will remain useful (or more useful than quest rewards for your level), how much it'll speed up grinding (quests or instances) and how much gold you're willing to spend to make your leveling go faster.

Use crafted gear if:
1) You are making it anyway.
2) You're friend is making it anyway.
3) You've got the mats anyway (surplus from leveling crafting profession, etc).
4) It's a beneficial gear set you will use for 4-5+ levels.
That's my opinion at least.
