Not really, I personally wouldn't pursue that path, but I have a friend who's doing that.. leveling all gathering/DoH and his combat class(monk) simultaneously. It's slooooow... but you can actually hq near 100% as long as you have the other classes around the same level for the cross class skills. I'm leveling crafting on my alt right now and I've resorted to just making my own gear on the alt instead of making it from my main to transfer to save myself the trouble. I've failed once or twice, but hey, the mats are cheap enough to try again.. Beats having to relog.
It will also grant you a very in-depth insight into the crafting mechanics, so you'll be ready to get into the end-game crafting as soon as you hit level 50.
It's a good way to do it if you can handle the slow progression.
