I don't have a suggestion for your dilemma, but I just wanted to let you know that skinning and mining are primary professions, just not crafting professions.

Run
Molten Core
and skin mobs to get enough items to get the
Thorium Brotherhood
to Exalted, then choose a crafting profession.

Pure Gatherers can reel in the cash if they play it right. Two or three times a week I hop on my DK strictly for Ore Farming. I do two laps around Sholazar on my 150% flyer, half my Ore goes to my JC for prospecting, the other half goes to the AH. After that I run do a couple laps each in Mulgore for Copper,
Dune
Silithus for Thorium.
Those three metals alone can be quite lucrative since people starting Engineering/Jewelcrafting/Blacksmithing need Copper, people reaching 300 in those professions need metric $%#^-tons of Thorium, and Saronite is used quite heavily by max level crafters.
I can't say anything about Skinning except that Arctic Furs are valuable. All in all, if you don't mind dedicating some time to farming not just in Northrend but in Classic and BC zones too, you can make more money than some crafters do.

Pure Gatherers can reel in the cash if they play it right. Really? You think so?
So you think you're "saving" money aren't you by farming ore yourself for your crafting professions...

uh...what?
That statement right there just says that a Gatherer can make money by farming the right things. How did you connect farming for a crafting profession from a statement about "Pure Gatherers?"
Maybe you are commenting are the part of my post you aren't quoting, but if you read carefully, I'm explaining why I farm Copper, Thorium, and Saronite to sell on the AH...because other crafters buy it because they don't want to farm it.

I have mining capped to 450 and skinning capped to 450. I am a bit annoyed of not having a crafting profession. But with all the time I have spent leveling mining, should I drop off skinning and level jewelcrafting, as a shaman drop off mining for leatherworking or drop off the two and get herbalism and alchemy. Which option would provide me the most money from auctionning
If you're set on having a crafting profession, Jewelcrafting will most likely provide you with the most money from AH. It also has some nice JC-only gems for yourself.
Leatherworking has some benefits for your Shaman, of course, but won't get you much money. Also, once you are 80 (if you aren't already) and can do Heroics and raids, all the gear you can make yourself will very soon be outdated, and you only have the leg enchants left, really.
So I would probably go for Mining / JC.

There is no real need to have a profession anymore, almost all recipes create bind on equipped items so you can have others craft stuff for you. Back in TBC the really cool crafted stuff was bind on pickup, meaning that if you wanted those great leather pants, you had to be a leatherworker and craft them yourself. No more of that, if you want those awesome leather pants now you just bring the mats to a leatherworker and have him craft them for you (or get them of AH).
This pretty much sums it up. As is right now being a crafter is pretty much useless outside of doing it for the fun factor. Every single recipe in the end-game that currently exists is owned by somebody on your server and they will make it for you for gold since they all (I think all anyway) are BoE now. So just farm the mats, sell them, and buy anything you need.
Unless your doing it for fun, in which case I say choose any craft you want. But out of what you listed I would say jewel crafting.
I'm still hoping they give crafters back some good BoP stuff again. I understand Blizzards desire not to railroad X class into playing Y profession because of great gear being BoP but crafting professions are pretty useless as it stands right now when you look at the grand scheme of gearing up. The only exceptions being tailors (bags), jewelcrafters (gems), scribes (glyphs), alchemy (buffs) and enchanters (enchants) as far as I can tell.

Simple. Make a DK alt and level JC and LW on it.

Gathering will give you gold based on time spent.
Pros: No upfront gold requirement
Cons: Gold made is linear
Crafting professions will give you gold based on other people's time spent.
Pros: Once max'd, you can get more gold for similar time spent on gathering
Cons: Requires upfront gold investment

Fixed. And this made me smile :). I thought I was the only one who pretended I was Paul Muad'Dib while running around Silithus! Also, the quest in Terrorkar to summon Hai'shulud....amazing.
And to the OP, JC is the way to go for making money. Spend extra emblems on jewels, cut them, sell them, and make a boat load. A friend of mine does that and has over 20k gold.
Good luck!
