I suggest doing the shuffle, especially if you have an enchanter, bountiful bags and a transmute spec alchy. Typically I, transmute carnellian to inferno's since GCE aren't affected by bountiful bags. Then for Alicite, Nightstone, Jasper and Hessonite, I craft the jewelry and D/E. Especially the blues which often don't sell on AH anymore. Heavenly Shards go for more than Maelstroms on some servers. Zephyrite, I keep a stack for myself and vendor the rest, you'll never sell a bunch on the AH since there are many others doing the same thing, you'll actually lose more on your deposit fees than what you sell. At this point you can choose one of two paths, A) make scrolls and sell them on AH B) sell off mats on AH. I choose path B as it results in quicker gold.

This, as with all economy related comments will vary from server to server, but for me, it is never a good idea to D/E the random blues.

I can only get a maximum of 50g - 60g in revenue from the shards received from D/Eing the blues. Even on my low popluation server the blue-quality rings and necklaces will sell for ~100-150g a piece.

They sell slowly, but I can wait for 65% - 300% more revenue.
