Dream Shards on my server are now so low in value as to almost never make disenchanting a lucrative option on anything that doesn't have purple text. It was only in the last week or so I noticed this and stopped mindlessly clicking on Disenchant. On my toons that can DE things themselves I automatically greed since I will always have the option later - but even on my non-enchanters on BoPs, the vendor price is almost always higher than the Dreamshard sale price so I'll have a look at the tooltip and usually always greed.

With BoEs I will also always greed. I tend not to sell them on the AH since it seems that very few people are buying these days - and who can blame them really, with relatively fast dungeon queues (yes, even for DPS - it's a lot slower than Tanking or heals, but it's still faster than the old system of hanging about in a city spamming trade for hours trying to get a group for anything except the daily heroic) and T9 in a matter of days noone really wants an old 200-level blue that they'll probably come accross during their own dungeon grinding and will probably be allowed to need on since noone really cares that much. Therefore I greed and vendor BoEs as well (and these have the advantage that if they do have a low vendor sale price, I can send them to my DE-er to shard instead. I do tend to have one or two alts levelling up though, so I might keep something if I think "That'll do for my rogue in 20 levels or so".

People really should keep abreast of the prices of Dream Shards and compare them to vendor prices.
