This TBC Classic Enchanting Leveling Guide will provide you with the fastest and most efficient method to improve your Enchanting skill between 1 and 375 Burning Crusade Classic.
If you still haven't decided about your second profession, I think Enchanting works well with Tailoring as there is no need for a gathering profession to support either of them as well as you can make use of Enchanting to de-enchant products you created using Tailoring. If you're interested in leveling towards Tailoring you can go through my TBC Classic Tailoring leveling guides.
If you're still leveling up your character, or just starting a new alt, Zygor has a 1-70 Guide to Leveling. The guide can help players reach 70 levels much faster.

You might need to make this recipe yellow once more.
311 to 316
6x Bracer-Brawn - 36 Arcane Powder
If you own Illusion Dust or it is less expensive than Arcane Dust, you can make Enchant Cloak Superior Defense. The recipe is near turning green so the chances of earning skill points are less.
325 - 316
16x Gloves - Assault - 128 Arcane Dust
This recipe will be yellow from 20-30 minutes, so you might need to make additional.

10x Chest - Major Spirit - 20 Greater Planar Essence
330 - 335
5x Shield - Major Stamina - 75 Arcane Dust
Madame Ruby sells the recipe at Shattrath City. It is recommended to purchase Formula: Superior Wizard Oil while you are there. These items are not in supply , so you'll need to wait until they come back. (5-7 minutes)
Alternate recipe:
6x Chest - Major Spirit - 12 Greater Planar Essence
It is possible that you will need to do a few more to reach 335.
Blood Elf Only 335 - 345
There is an alternative really inexpensive method to get the 335-345 component, however only Blood Elves can benefit from it.
Their passive racial ability Arcane Affinity gives them the ability to gain ten skill boosts. They can turn the Large PrismaticShard into three smaller Shards and then back again.
This only affects the conversion of one Large Prismatic Shard into three Small Prismatic Shards. This means that you'll only have the chance to increase your skill levels half the time (since the other half of the time you'll be returning to three Small Prismatic Shards). You will not be able to gain skill points for all crafts because the recipe is gray. There's a slim chance of you earning skill points. The 10 points of skill will be granted to you in 10-15 minutes.
The Formula: Large Prismatic Shard is offered by these NPCs, the Small Prismatic Shard recipe is taught by your trainer.
335 - 335 -
5x Shield - Resilience 5 Large Shards of Prismatic Shard and 20 less planar Essence
You can continue to make Shield with Major Stamina if Large Prismatic Shard is too expensive.

Madame Ruby sells the recipe at Shattrath City. It's already yellow once you've learned it, which means you might need to make a few more.
You can buy Imbued Vials from trade supply or alchemy supply suppliers.
Alternative recipe:
Create more Shield Resilience, or change to the next recipe if don't have Nightmare Vine.
350 - 360
15x Enchant Gloves - Major Strength - 180 Arcane Dust, 15 Greater Planar Essence
This recipe could require you to make some additional.
360 361

The Formula: Runed Adamantite Rod is available from Rungor in Terrokar Forest near Stonebreaker Hold, and by Vodesiin in the Hellfire Penninsula in the Temple of Telhamat.
It is possible to make the Runed Adamantite Rod at 350 too. It is still possible to make the Runed Adamantite Rod with 350, however it's not a guarantee of skill points. The recipe for Gloves is close to turning green, which means it has a lower likelihood of giving you skill points.
