Tailoring and Enchanting are just fine. Especially since you already got it to 300, dropping it now just to level something else would be a giant waste.
You'll be happy you got Enchanting once you get to 85.

Disenchanting only gets better with Outland quests. So much gear around there is useless, or repeated. Tailoring is also the perfect match for your enchanting - Gear Tailors do can be disenchanted. Being 300 in Enchant, you'll be using greens from Outland levels to skill up, which is why, at 52, it may seem hopeless. You simply overskilled it, but don't worry - you'll find skillups easier once you hit OL.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Embersilk bags, one of the best moneymakers currently, require Hypnotic Dust in significant quantity. Having enchanting to support your bag sales makes life on the AH much easier. The perks as mentioned are solid as well, +80 SP (ring chantsx2) is nothing to sneeze at.

Enchanting and Tailoring go together fantasticly well because you don't need a gathering proffession for either of them. Plus, Tailoring is about as close to a gathering proffession as it gets for Enchanting, as you can pretty much DE everything you make to level it. Enchanting is in no way costly to level the higher you go, in anything other than time. The best way to do it infact, is to go back and do low level quests. You get exp (if you aren't max level), gold, and quest rewards to DE. And it also puts you on track for achievements if you want them. And you get to experience even more of the world's lore, if you're into that kind of thing. If you're not, get carbonite and you can auto turn in and auto pick up quests just by talking to the npc. There are so many good things about this method it's just inexplicable why more people don't do it. Oh and another plus, if you end up with extra mat's that you don't need, you can sell them on the AH. And you can farm cloth from mobs you kill in quests. The benefits just go on and on and on.

Thanks for the input. The reason I was questioning it, is because the next rod is at least 100g in mats, and 200g if I need to buy the shards or dust. I wanted to be sure I was going to stick with it before I dropped more gold. I have a 85 main that has money, but I don't want to waste gold I might need at 70 to get the fast flying.
You shouldn't need to buy the mats. You still have to quest through Outland, you will get a LOT of mats from there (just make sure to disenchant all quest rewards). That will easily cover your rod and most of the skill ups until Northrend.
From Northrend onward leveling Enchanting actually becomes quite cheap. Those enchants sell for a reasonable price (use vellums). I've brought Enchanting on an alt of mine from 450 to around 500 and actually made a profit in the process. Other professions in that level range tend to be an insane gold sink.
As others have pointed out, Tailoring is perfect to go with it: Just use all your cloth to tailor some cheap green and then disenchant it for mats.

Yeah there's another point. As MegaVolt pointed out you can enchant Vellums and put them on the AH. Now for players you just can't afford the cata level enchants, but need the extra bonus, northrend enchants are not exactly a horrible substitue. They are cheap, easy to farm mats for (while leveling or as a higher level) and not hugely behind in stats. But mostly because more often than not people just don't want to fork out for a malestrom crystal (these are still god damn expensive).
