From a pure stat gain PoV you can go past Blacksmithing / Jewelcrafting, however it seems you have the intention to farm the mats yourself so thats a fair hunk of farming you got ahead if you chose to go that. To be honest BS will turn over a larger profit at 80 so i would go BS and perhaps something that is less painful to level then JC probably why enchanting was suggested as its easy enough to far your own mats for it. However if your truely into min / maxing BS JC is the way. (even when epic gems hit JC will dominate because guess who you have to come to if you want those gems... you guessed it.)

Oh - the epic gems are already out?
Anyway, i did some crunching - assuming only stam gems, although i wouldn't just do that, i would do stat gems.... regardless:
41 stam
41 stam
41 stam
=
123
vs.
30 stam
30 stam
30 stam
24 stam (ench)
24 stam (ench)
=
138
Looks like ench is more worth it just on a stamina basis - unsure about it based on defense/dodge gems though.... >.< I'm too lazy to theorycraft
Epic gems are not out. For JC you get 41 stamina instead of 24 stamina, so 17 each times 3 is 51 extra stamina. Blacksmithing gives you two slots, so 24*2 for 48 Stamina. Enchanting is two +24 ring enchants, so also 48 stamina. Mining gives you 50 stamina.
Currently Jewelcrafting also allows you to use those +41 stamina gems in slots that you may otherwise put Dodge/Stamina, Expertise/Stamina, or Defense/Stamina gems for socket bonus and meta activation. This prismatic quality is going to be removed in the near future (3.2 I believe?).
Also, once epic gems are released (perhaps in 3.2, perhaps in Icecrown, no word on it yet), that will open up the +30 stamina gems. Unless they do something different for JC dragon eyes, that will drop the JC bonus to +33 stamina, enchanting stays at 48 stamina, Blacksmithing will jump to 60 stamina, and mining would still be at 50.

says hi
since you can only have one, the rest'll still be 24 stam gem, so that'll give 12 less stam than the other guy's list, but that'll still be 126 stam vs 123 stam
The storm jewel is irrelevant because both the jewelcrafter and the non-jewelcrafter can have one. The only way it would make a difference is if you ONLY had 3 sockets. If you have four sockets:
JC:
30
41
41
41
Non-JC:
30
24
24
24
That's why I didn't mentioned the Stormjewel.

I'm not asking what isthe best now, but rather what WILL be best when the epic gems come out.
Because we can so much predict what gonna be the best in 2-3 patches.... yeah... /facepalm

i wonder in deciding of one of them is better that you took into consideration that the trinkets also give stam and also good use effects for tanks.

OHOHO! Look who learned how to twist words to make themselves feel better!
Twist words? When epic gems come out we assume there will be changes to Jewelcrafting, because if there were no changes then JC would fall way behind. There's no way to predict multiple patches into the future.

Mining > Enchanting
50 > 24+24
