Potions Master Question

A question ? my search didn?t yield any results, so please send me to the relevant thread if it was previously discussed. 

[Dumbledore] is famous for defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and for his work on alchemy with his friend Nicolas Flamel. (HP Lexicon quoting Chocolate Frog Card)

Ergo ? Dumble himself must be of the top Potions Masters of WW.  I find it hard to believe he was just a clerk for Flamel. We don?t know what he was doing for better part of his life, so he could easily enjoy *beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses*.

So why he was teaching transfiguration? He is powerful enough to be equally good in both fields. But still... 

Any thoughts?
Cheers, Viridis
