There are numerous reasons I went with tailoring.
1) I'm a cloth-wearer, so it's beneficial to me (rather, it would have been, I had I not waited until now to actually level it up).
2) You can make some kickass stuff throughout the game.
3) You come across the materials for it without picking up another profession, which is unique. You get linen, wool, silk, mageweave, rune, netherweave, etc. throughout the game with humanoid kills. It's basically that + dye + maybe a reagent + thread to make anything.
4) It helps with enchanting, because you can disenchant the items you make to level up.
You're a rogue, though, so you may find more benefit in a mining + engineering career, or skinning + leatherworking, though herbalism + alchemy is also nice.
