Well, let's look at it in another perspective. 27 +heal(31 from stone over Perseverance -4 fromg gem) or 1750 HP for 15 seconds when things go badly.
Anybody have a preference?

Granted since epic gems are ubiquitous via SSO Faction; JC is not as viable for a PvP profession as it used to be. It is still valid for Raiding for those who care or people who like to gear up for all possible specs.
The Alchemy trinket is
quite expensive in terms of mats and since you cannot use potions in Arena, I would daresay it is not the best choice for a PvP profession.
If you already have Enchanting, I don't think it is worth leveling a second profession over any other at this point. If you need gold or want to prepare way in advance for WotLK then take up JC/Alchemy/Engineering. I'm sure all three will give you an early advantage of some kind. If you don't have enchanting, then you can get +40 heals with this profession or +8 stats (counting both rings).
