    At the point I decided to go Alchemy...
    I had three sets of five toons at 80th level (and 80th was the cap).

    I ran Daily Quests with three teams, for a week or so.
    And used the proceeds to purchase Herbs on the auction house.
    And basically power leveled my Alchemy.

    I ended up parking some Herbalist toons in various places, as the AH was short on some herbs.
    I had a Druid off the coast of Westfall, for harvesting Stranglekelp underwater.
    I had a Hunter in The Hinterlands, for Sungrass.
    And I believe a toon in Western/Eastern Plaguelands, for any of the higher herbs.

    After a week of dailies on three toons, that was getting exceedingly boring.
    So I scaled back to two teams.
    And did Alchemy transmutes, with each toon that had a high enough skill to do whatever the money maker was (I think epic gems).
    Eventually, transmutes were more gold per day than dailies... at which point I ditched the dailies and leveled the remaining alchemists entirely on transmute profits.

I tried this at first for my Alchemist and on Earthen Ring-US, it sucked. I was left with having to level up my own Herbalist to get some of the more common plants, cause since the LFD tool, hardly anyone ventures out to farm these old world ones. If you're left doing this, Stranglekelp is alot easier to farm from Thousand Needles now if you finish out the questline to get the scuba gear and underwater walking. Unless you use a druid of coarse. But the boat mount from that same quest line is fun to play with too.
    Sounds like you need to find someone who supplies Profession Leveling Kits. That's just an
    example but, many people do this on a plethora of realms in all regions. What you can find
    on your AH is completely dependent on how active and progressed your realm actually is.
    Obviously, higher populated realms have a healthier economy.

    That's why I always level up herbalism and store the herbs. If I plan on having an alchemist, I have all the mats I need. If I don't, I can make a good bit of money selling the herbs.

    I don't really quest, so gathering the herbs myself is not an option.
    I wonder if there's a kit vendor on Silvermoon-EU...

    I've found the easiest thing to do is to run dungeons for cloth and green drops. DE the greens and sell the enchanting mats and the cloth items on the AH. I've made over 1000g already on my Magtheridon team (level 45) by playing the AH a bit and just selling all the cloth that I got (SM has insane cloth drop rates and mageweave sells for about 20g a stack).

    There's no way I'll be able to do it on my server (Silvermoon-EU) without herbing myself it seems.
    Prices for "old" herbs are retarded + there are not even close to enough of them on the AH. No one responded for my post on my realm forums about purchasing leveling kits.

    On Earthen Ring-US the Maeltrom Crystals are still goin for anywhere between 200-400g each, depending on the day and Heavenly Shards for 125g each. Greater Celestial Essences for around 150g minimum, so if you can gear up a team in all the 378 gear from the HoT randoms, most can be from the quests in there, then you can Disenchant all other gear that you don't need, getting atleast 4 of the crystals on each run plus the essences/shards from greens/blues. All else fails, you can farm JPs along side that and buy up and DE the cheapest JP gear you can get too for more crystals. Relics/Wands/Thrown usually only cost around 700JPs and you can get half that from one random.
