Dropping Smithing In Favor Of Enchanting?

So I'm sitting at level 54 right now and I'm taking a break from my leveling to work on my professions.I've got mining at 300 and smithing at 215 and I'm sitting on stack and stacks of ore. Money really isn't an issue for me right now so I don't have a problem buying gear. What I'm wondering is, is smithing really worth end-game? Is there anything worth making that can't be replaced through quests/raids/PVP? I'm sitting on a few purples and several high-level rares that I haven't had the heart to throw away yet. Would I be making a big mistake losing smithing and picking up enchanting?
Also, from an economical standpoint, while a stack of thorium sells for 22g, a stack of vision dust sells for 40g, so that's also something.

Well, I'm prot-specced and I do have a lv20 enchanting alt, but it's all those soulbound items that concern me. I also really think that there's better options than the felsteel set for tankerdins. Thanks though.

The thing about enchanting is that while with crafting professions you'll normally be able to find an upgrade, there's no substitute for ring enchants and they will always be useful.

Alright, thanks a lot, I think I made up my mind. Of course, I'll probably craft my enchanting rods before I drop smithing.

Enchanting payed, easily I might add, for that god awful resource drain that was the 'summon charger' quest chain.
I've never had to trade&*!@# either. I enchant for my friends and I disenchant for money.
I used to mine for cash but that's fallen by the wayside now, and now I'm not too sure what I should pick up instead.
I was thinking jewelcrafting or blacksmithing but blacksmithing has been squished a little in this post. Any suggestions?
