Gold from farming heroics?

[Stav]

I thought I would mention that disenchanting materials are based on the item type; armor or weapon. Armor will more often DE into dust (75% of the time) where weapons will DE into essence (75% of the time). Given how poor the material market has become on my server (actual sales, vs. listed price) I've found it's often equally profitable just to vendor the greens.

I have to say I must be doing something horribly wrong because I'm almost to the currently attainable, non-raider gear cap and average only 2 heroics an hour, unless I get a lucky string of the fast ones (UK, DtK, VH). For the most part, unless you're consistently getting the harder heroics just doing the random dungeon finder should cover the bulk of your repair / wipe costs. A daily or 2 over 5 accounts should cover the remainder if needed. Depending on your server another option if you can manage a daily random a day is to burn some of your frost emblems for Primodrial Saronite, again it's server dependent but they should still fetch a pretty hefty sum.
