FWIW I'm not sure why everyone always says if you don't have guildies to make you BoE gear you'll be gouged buying it off the AH. That doesn't make sense at all. I can buy the mats (for the same price I'd buy them for if I had to get a guildy to make me an item) and then pay some random horde in org 10g to make me an epic BS item. So woopdie doo, 10g more to have someone random do it instead of a guild mate.
It probably differs from server to server. The Titansteel Guardian for example, still goes for around 1500 gold on Mag (high pop server). The cost of the mats if you buy the Titansteel bars is 1200-1300 gold. You wont get random's doing it for a 10G tip on our server, 50-100G is about the going rate. There's no new recipe's after 440 in BS, so its hard to find someone who will craft it cheaply. JC is even worse - I had to shell out 300G to get 5 Spellshock necklaces made with my mats. I started asking in trade at 100G and went up by 50G per night before on the 4th night I found someone to do it.

Cheers,
