I run into this situation on my server, too. I have access to JC, Enchanting, Alchemy, Inscription, and Leatherworking. All of the markets except JC and Enchanting mats seem to be saturated. Sticking to those, I can usually make about 1-2k gold a day with about 15 minutes time invested. The market won't sustain much more in terms of volume.

I'll sometimes dabble in high end enchants and leather, but that is where I run into people haunting the market. They are also low enough volume that I can't win. I just save the items until prices go up and re-list them then. When I'm feeling antagonistic, I'll undercut down to almost cost just to drive prices down and get the haunters to give up. It's a game of chicken that I lose more often than not.

Undermine Journal has a heat map that shows the days and times that items have been more likely to sell. Timing your auctions around that can help.
