Some of your math seems like almost guesswork.

quote:
# High level armor: 4 dusts (avg) x 3 + 1 cosmic, divide this all by 4.
# High level weaponry: 3 cosmics + 1 dust, divided by 4.

Where in the world did you come up with this? If you go to:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Disenchanting_tables
you can see exactly what *Item levels* disenchant into what. The formula for, say, an itemlevel 152-200 armor would go like this:

2-5 dust (avg 3.5) 75% of the time
1-2 greater cosmic (avg 1.5) 22% of the time
1 dream shard 3% of the time.

So you take weighted averages of the 3 (say D, E, and S are the going prices for dust, essence, and shards on your server):

(3.5*D*.75)+(1.5*E*.22)+(S*.03)

152-200 iLvl weapons is obviously quite similar.

(3.5*D*.22)+(1.5*E*.75)+(S*.03)

Anyway, curse you for getting this out into the open. :( Not very many people on one server can do this before the competition is just too high to be worth it.
