I am thinking of trying to max a tradeskill character, and have a few questions that some may be able to answer.
What is the most lucrative of the tradeskills?
What race can level tailoring fastest? I realize some races have cultural recipes available, so would it be better to go with a halfling for tailoring then? Or perhaps a Wood elf?
What race can level blacksmithing fastest? What cultural blacksmithing is most lucrative? (I am guessing it would be best to pick dwarf/high elf/dark elf for cultural armors.)
Thanks!

None really make much money, do it because you wanna be able to make stuff, not because selling that stuff makes money.
Everyone levels tailoring at the same speed, but the higher your INT or WIS (whichever is higher) reflects how fast you earn these skills. Tradeskills can also use another stat if those are low, Blacksmithing using STR for example, not sure what Tailoring uses, maybe DEX.
If you do not intend to farm or pay for high end gear, its possible your culture armor might be good enough to use near the end-game times. I made a full set of culture armor for my Barb Shaman and its pretty solid, +1 STR +2 WIS per item is pretty strong. Crafting that set was one of my original character goals. 170 WIS on an unguilded casually played solo-shaman isn't half bad IMO.
The tradeskills are mostly for making items with specific looks (cultural or dyed plate), and have little use beyond that.
