That's the big question. I don't keep track of indvidual profit for each item, I just try to sell in large volumes. Blackened Dragonscale costs around 10g to me, so thats 200g in total, you need 50 savage leathers to get the pristine orb iirc. At 2g or less each, that means a total crafting cost of 300g. So basically everything above that is pure profit.

However about 'alot of work'.yeah that is true if you were to buy mats, do the whole crafting up savage leather, go to twilight highlands to swap hides for pristine orb, etc ... each time you gonna craft one.

1) But I have my mats buyer setup such that he buys out all savage leather under 2g, and all blackened dragonscale under 15g. That + many other mats. It's a push on the button, and then a few quick successive clicks to confirm buyout/bd.
2) Open mailbox, and my mats buyer auto mails the proper mats to my respective crafters. Takes a minute.
3) If I have these crafters open, TradeSkillMaster automatically tells me how many of the crafted items I still have in stock.
4) 1 push on the button and he converts all my savage leathers gathered over the course of 1-2 weeks into heavy, take portal to twilight highlands, buy pristine orbs, and craft the enchantments. Last time I crafted 40 of each. But meanwhile my other 4 toons are crafting stuff as well.
5) Done, open mailbox, and my addon automagically sends the crafted stuff to my seller.
6) Whevener I have my seller open, the stuff is just sitting in his bags, and they 'll be automatically listed on the AH, matching the rules I've set for buyout, fallback, min. treshhold, etc ..

Long story short: if you have to do this process each time for 1-2 of those enchants then it's poor time/gold ratio. If as a multiboxer you are able to craft enough stuff for a whole week, then the 2-3k I gain from this item alone (its more) then the 10 minutes are well spend. The more because my other toons do something similar meanwhile.

It's all about addons, knowing them and setting them up properly.
