Mining/Herbalism not working since patch

Q u o t e:
Okay so I just started an alt character (human warrior) and I'm trying to level my mining and herbalism and neither are working. I tried dropping and retraining them both and still nothing. I try to mine a node and it just says "requires mining" and the same with my herbalism. I try to gather stuff and it tells me "requires herbalism"

Very frustrating.

Q u o t e:
Unable to use Professions (Including "Requires Herbalism/Mining")

We have been receiving reports where players retain abilities related to Mining and Herbalism (such as Toughness, Smelting, and Lifeblood), but are unable to use those abilities to gather resources. In addition, players who pick up the Skinning ability may still have Master of Anatomy, but lose their ability to skin.

Crafting professions appear to also be experiencing this issue, including Enchanting which may show Disenchanting as still available, though the player is unable to enchant items.

This is a known issue being investigated by our Quality Assurance team, and we will provide an update as soon as possible.
