However working with crafting I was able to see a noticeable challenge in that the time and energy that goes into upping even one facet of any of the three crafting trades is intense, and so you wont likely see too many people who are well versed in every aspect of their trade. Ie you will see people who generally finish vs those who generally refine.
At level 10 you specialize in one of the two specializations for each profession. So for example you become a Leatherworker or Tailor (can't be both) as your specialization and should not see any work orders or recipes for the other specialization (this was still being cleaned up at end of beta). You do continue to advance in the Outfitter skill which has it's own associated recipes and work orders. So you end up with 2 out of the 3. Refining is it's own skill set and appears to allow you to refine both materials associated with your profession.
