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.
