Man, I definitely wouldn't recommend alchemy as a skill to "reap repeatable large dividends." You have to be an insane tunnel trader to even recoup part of the plat it costs to max the skill. The last 7 or so points cost approximately 280 platinum per attempt. That's thousands of plat per single skill increase. You probably don't need to go that high, but you're still probably better off spending the time farming plat/items.
The value mainly comes from providing potions to a raiding guild, and for personal use while soloing. Having IVU as a shaman is nice, and so are some of the "high end" effects.
I'm curious what kind of profit other shamans have turned from selling stuff like SoW pots. Stuff like resist and gate pots are mainly used in raid situations, and are provided to the guild by guilded shamans at cost.
