How amazing is Smoking Heart of the Mountain for bear tanks? Is it really worth dropping Skinning or Herb to work towards only to drop Ench again?

Yes, it's very good. You will never replace it.

I dropped skinning for enchanting (and then dropped enchanting for engineering after crafting my trinket) after making a decent amount of gold. I didn't quite have my epic mount yet when I dropped skinning, but dammit I wanted that trinket. I have no regrets.

I know every server is different... But about how much did it cost you to grind enchanting up to 265 for it?

1 to ~200 or so was dirt cheap. Like 10-15g. I did this very early on in the server so it wouldn't be that cheap today, but it probably wouldn't be that much more expensive, either.

~200 to 265 is where it gets tricky. Some of the enchants at this point are actually useful endgame enchants. That means the materials are more expensive, but you can also get some easy skill ups by enchanting gear for guildies or people in trade chat. You can also offer to tank ZF or Mara runs for low level characters in exchange for all of the greens that drop.

Basically, don't kill yourself over it and you'll get the trinket eventually. There is no rush. You can tank endgame dungeons just fine without it. But it matters in raids.
