Advice on crafting specialization

[luckystrikes]

Currently I have selected one crafting specialization and that was GSM. Not too much logic behind my choice other than it was the first one I leveled to 60 and it gets geared first. Goes back to supporting my main combat BLM. So I have two specializations unused.
Now how many crafting specializations have others selected and why? Did you allocate two and hold back one for future updates? Did you pick all 3 to make a quick buck off the latest crafting update? Or are you waiting for 3.2 to come out for something like 60 3 star or left side gathering gear?
My concern is that the Whistle While You Work systems is largely unused by most crafters (from what I see on the forum). I'm holding back because I don't know what the future looks like. Does any one else have some dev talk or under the table info on what 3.2 will look like?

i picked weaver and ltw purely to make pirate and falconers glamor gear before the latest patch :x

then relic released. and switched things around. my 3rd one i switched from bsm (spammed the relic items), then switched to arm (spammed again). and now im alc.

so finally settled to wvr, ltw and alc.

LTW is a great choice. Especially if you have a 60 fisher to farm Daidem for Pterodactyl.

Innovative Touch is the only specialist skill I really use and its often helpful.

I asked this same question earlier. In the end it doesn't matter that much, but maybe choose relic pairs that go together OR final product only items? : D

LTW, CUL, GSM

This a great rundown of what is available for specialization and I'll go for LTW...which is a step for me as LTW is one that I level after the others. I do have 60 fisher and can catch numerous ptoredactyls.....Im going for it. Thx.

CPT(so far seems to be one of the harder to find so already had a couple of jobs), CUL(cause cooking), LTW(had to pick a third - why not)
