This is because questing, especially with the changes in Cata to this linear garbage and drips and drabs of quests, requires far too much back and forth travel. Questing might possibly provide more immediate gold, but I always made more overall from boosting by throwing the cloth/decent BOEs/Enchanting Mats on the AH once a day before I logged. That'll be even more the case once AOE looting hits.
