I'm not sure about stats because I don't have a Druid. As for gold, Jewelcrafting will make you more hands down. You can make gold, and plenty of it, with Alchemy, but it's much easier and less time consuming with JC. However, JC will take more money to level and more time after it's leveled doing dailies to buy the money making recipes.
Just find which recipes sell well (read not for the most profit, but actually sell) and buy the cuts for them first. Then:
1. Buy uncut Epic Gems.
2. Cut.
3. Re-list for 50g more.
4. ...
5. Profit.
Tip: The most common gems +30 stam, +20 str, +23 sp, are probably not going to make you the most money. They will sell, and fast, however, I've often seen some of these gems selling for less than the uncut epic used for them.
Personally I love having Alch and JC. Same steps as above, but buy rare gems and transmute to epic. Then re-list for 150g profit. Although that is only 1 per day, unless it procs.
With just Alchemy the money will be in either:
a) Transmute Spec: Transmuting Meta gems and titanium (if it's worth it)
b) Elixir Spec: Flasks if it's worth it. Maybe some elixirs.
The biggest problem with Alch is that it is so easy. Just level up to 450 and start playing the market. JC takes more time, getting recipes and checking which gems sell, so not as many people play the market.

Jewelcrafting. BY FAR. i like to buy gems with honor,. (Cardinal Rubys) then cut to either runed or bold, depending of price and sell them, easy

you seem to like the idea of having jewelcrafting, so i say pick that one.
jewelcrafting cost me an arm and a leg to level (i was too lazy to farm my own mats, even though i had maxed mining at the time), but it was worth ever penny once i got it to the higher levels. like has been said before, it's an easy way to make gold in the game, just takes awhile to get to that point.
though from my own personal opinion. . .i'm completely in love with alchemy on my warlock. takes alot more work for me (personally) to make a profit from the profession, but it does make gold if you work at it (mainly from farming frost lotus, or getting lucky on getting frost lotus for a good deal from someone).
but i don't like alch for the gold. i like it for all the benefits it gives me.
endless mana potion
endless healing potion
flask of the north
2 hour flasks (non-alchs only get 1 hour per flask), flasks, elixirs, and potions all have an increased effect for us, oh and transmutation/elixir mastery. i went elixir master and have gotten pretty lucky with proc'ing extra flasks.
for me personally it's just a really fun, and useful profession. easily my "funnest" of the 4 professions i currently have maxed (i also have enchanting, jewelcrafting, and herbalism maxed).
plus now i have a way to help my guild even more when i can for our raiding. i've always liked to help others when i can, and i've had alot of fun helping people make sure they've always got a flask handy when we raid.

Ok here is the lowdown. I have both on the same toons they make alot of money but it depends on your server.
There is also going to be anyother factor that is going to could into play next patch with the Frozen Orb vendor so don't be suprised if the herbs don't go up in price alittle do to frost price dropping.
Also no one has pointed put that your a driud which means you can get herbs in flight form and not have to shapeshift thats a big plus in my book.
With you being Resto the bonus for herb could be helpfull if needed. Alc can be paired with both Mining and Herb there are good and bad things to come pair.
Herb: Elixer or Pot are what you should normally take.
Mining: X-Mute. Few gem every now and then also all the saronite that you want to smelt and make into Titanium Bars using your spec. Also your find that JC's will also Prospect it for you if there is something in it for them.
Both chooses are good and would help you out. The Jc will give you Better Haste or Sp gems (depending on what you stack) then the epic give. And Alc gives you all the same buff the differance is what the Products they get from the spec that they happen to choose.

The market on my server has dried up alot of late. Cut gems sell for maybe 10g more than uncut.
