I did the same thing... have 4 crafting and one gathering job at 50, and realized there was no point... so I started grinding gear on my main recently... Only the rest of the world had a 3 month head start on me so I just started gearing up end-game before 2.1 came out. The good news is that it's easier to gear up then it used to be.
