I haven't seen a post about this method since the beginning of MoP and it seems it isn't common knowledge yet. Since I have a way better method nowadays I would like to give one of my old methods away.
Requirements:
- 600 Tailoring
- 600 enchanting (Lower is possible, but not recommended)
- A small stash of gold (4-5k+ would be a great starting point)
- Being in a level 25 guild increases your profit by a huge margin
Method:
You want to start with unlocking tailoring recipes. You get a recipe every day you make a Silkworm Cocoon, which can be made with 8 Bolt of Windwool Cloth. They can be made by going to the Silken Fields which is located fairly close to the east of halfhill. They yield you a discovery, an imperial silk and possibly a pet.
The pet and the imperial silk are just a minor bonus, you pretty much are after the discoveries. The discoveries you are after are the Dreadfull PvP craftable pieces that require 4 bolts.
After you get one of the recipes listed on the wowhead page I just linked, it's pretty much a straightforward method.
Windwool cloth usually goes for 10-20g a stack on a server and Ethereal Shards usually go for 15-27g a piece. Want you want to do is buy up as many Windwool Cloth stacks as you can, convert them into bolts while doing something else or if the bolts are cheap on the AH, buy them up. Afterwards you want to create the discovery that only costs 4 Bolt of Windwool Cloth that you have discovered through the Imperial Silk daily. I usually do a full inventory and disenchant them after with a disenchant macro.

20 Windwool Cloth = 4 Bolts = 1 Craftable = 1-4 Ethereal Shards = 3-12 Mysterious Essence.
If 3 mysterious essence is more expensive then 1 ethereal shard on your server, try to sell some of those aswell. On Outland-EU and Stormscale EU which I will use as an example I recommend the following prices:
10-18g each Windwool Cloth Stack
18-25g each Ethereal Shard
7-10g each Mysterious Essence
On average, you get 1.19 shards every disenchant (sample of 70k shards I made myself). So on average you will get around 1190 shards for 1000 disenchants. The method is really worth it if you pay less for a stack of Windwool Cloth then a single Ethereal shard since you have the basic profit margin of the cloth and the possibility of a guild/disenchant proc which would grant you a nice extra bit of profit. On average you can make close to 900 PvP items an hour.
If you want to calculate your profit:
(Current Ethereal Shard Price * 1.19) - (Current Windwool Cloth Price * 20) = Profit on avergage.
(Current Mysterious Essence price * 3) - Current Ethereal Shard price = profit/loss on average.
Tips and tricks:
- Try to contact some of the regular cloth sellers and ask them if they could sell it to you for a little bit cheaper. They won't have to pay AH fee's and they would have someone to directly sell it to, which can increase your profit by a good 5 to 10%!
- If Bolt of Windwool Cloth is cheap on your current AH, try to buy it up. Remember that a stack of 20 Bolt of Windwool Cloth is worth to buy up if the price is equal to 5 Windwool Cloth stacks, e.g. 15g each Windwool Cloth stack and 75g for a Bolt of Windwool Stack
- Try to play the AH along with it, it increases your profit alongside this method. Also don't try to put up too many stacks at once and be patient (it can sometimes take up to 48 hours for 60+ Ethereal Shard stacks). I really recommend TradeSkillMaster to buy up your cloth.
- Try to mix match Ethereal Shards and Mysterious Essence dependant on demands. Sha crystals are also a small bit of extra profit and a good shard dump so if you possibly have multiple characters with enchanting, use it!
- Selling enchanting scrolls could also rake in some extra profit!
