which one would be better? especially for end game playing

for a mage i think either would be a good choice

tailoring/enchanting good points

you can do your own end game enchants
tailoring has end game embroidery you can put on some of your items
tailoring has 2 mounts you can have
you can make your own epics

herbalism/alchemy

you get a self healing spell
you can get more flasks for yourself
flasks can also be sold for lots of gold
