I could probably write out a decent write up for ways to gather some gold, but I'm more than sure there are some really good guides out there already.
Most of them are just copy and pasted from the others, and a lot of it's outdated. I know a few good grind spots where I've been lucky, but the AH is the way to go. When I ground out the money for my epic for my main, I just took over the market for 3 cuts of gems for a couple of weeks, and was ruthless about it. Logged on in the morning, at lunch, and at night to tweak prices and watch for people undercutting - i'd buy them out and relist at MY price (which was a reasonable one). They we'rent raid cuts, either - just vendor/rep cuts. One cut in particular, one of the yellow cuts, nobody every listed, and I made a killing on those. My stockpiles went up pretty high a few times, but they all sold. Lost some profit on metas, let them go making maybe 1%, the market was flooded. Bought any and all raw gems for the cuts I was selling, too. A few people tried to take me on, but eventually they found their price to walk away - they got a smaller profit, I made mine after.

Them I forgot about rep or gear or anything else, and did at least 2 hours of grinding and dailies every day for that time. I made more than I needed for my epic - and this was long before Sunwell came out.

Easiest grind? Nagrand Ogres. Easy kills, cash, green and blue drops, marks, cloth, potions, and if you're a rogue, tons of lockboxes that can have pots, green and blue gems, and those epic throwing weapons (they can drop from any pick pocketed box or chest). Fast respawns if you're sharing them with someone else, or someone is questing. 200g an hour there is dead easy.

Now, when I get on my main, which is rare, I just do the Ogrila, Netherwing, Skettis and Sunwell dailies. Easy money, drops are'nt bad, and I can watch tv doing them. Anytime my guild bank gets low, two days of that is plenty.

I'm looking at the release of Season 4 right now as a massive money making opportunity, when everyone will need to re-gem and re-enchant. It'll take a while for those re-rolling after getting the ban hammer this weekend, so there's another opportunity. Same for leveling lowbies through instances - there's going to be a lot of people needing to get back into PvP as fast as possible.
