your comments are valid, when the server economy isn't completely ... broken, then crafting 2-3 sets a week could be profitable.

TSM is not the only judge fr crafting items, the undermine journal, when it works, can also give you a profitable or not status based on your server's material costs, compared to the current lowest price for that item.

TSM's crafting window, while reliable, is often impractical about demand and supply, i.e. if nobody is going to buy level 40 enchants and nobody is selling them, a +50 health enchant or a +10 fire resist probably NEVER going to sell for 500g each, according to the cost of those materials from the AH.

the TSM window doesn't consider the effective demand for BoA enchants on gear as well, you have to manually select which gear you want to create in that window, or else it will suggest buying 30 stacks of coal, mageweave, etc and queue those items as well

TSm may include a forced crafting item option in the future, i.e. if you want to have a continual AH supply, and want to see the profit or loss on each fixed item that's craftable, so you can decide if you need 2 helms or 4 weapons instead, and which would sell, or make more money first so you can decide with limited materials what works.

as it is, on my AH, there's easily 30 items of each craft for sale at a time, from about 5 regulars and ~20 irregulars. same for tailoring, LW, enchanting and blacksmithing items, and there's often periods where you don't see crafted weapons on the AH.

e.g. last time i was on my tailor, the healer/dps tailoring ilvl ~308 cloth for early level 81 and the cloth PvP gear was priced at 20g each, for a few months, it cost nearly 250g to 350g in mats at the time for each cloth piece, even 4 months after cataclysm. that was not pleasant. that's not even counting the absurd weekly CD for dreamcloth and the abysmal efforts needed for "farming" chaos orbs in heroics.

for having to deal with multiple PUG heroics, those items deserve to be priced higher, not lower.
