The other issue I see with it is that you need to actually do a daily quest - which is pretty easy if you have one team, but when you get to having 5 teams it just seems like a lot of drama.

My goal in Cata is to have bunches of tailor/alchemists - both have cooldowns that can be sold, and neither will require (so far) anything other than clicking a couple of buttons to use them. Tailoring is dirt cheap to level since you get piles of cloth as a byproduct of leveling your team, and alchemy isn't terribly expensive.

Thanks for clarifying the reasoning behind having a herd of JCs
Even now, uncuts sell for up to 50g less then cut gems on our AH. market is pretty inactive aswell, so if you actually use JC at max level, you can easily earn a profit.

Sidenote: if you would sell the cloth instead of using it it would give you gold. So to be honest, it's far from free. But you just don't have to spend gold on it. Alchemy cooldown proved to be much more valuable then the tailoring one. So if you use the CD every day, Alchemy will net you a lot more profit. Especially combined with JC.
