The easiest way I've found to make money off enchanting is to have an alt that's a disenchanter.
So that's where all those essences and dusts in the AH come from...
I think the big difference there is that you're not actually making money as an enchanter. You're selling the same green/blue items except in a different form. The tough part is making money while getting enchanting skill-ups.

Also, my main being on lvl 43, I do the occasional Deadmines run. I usually end up with about 30 green items with around 26 of them being BoE (the others BoA) which gives me a good sorce of disenchatable items, without being killed once. (double bonus!)
I hear ya. At 260 ench skill the lev 20-30 items are only slightly useful

Dust / Essence:
Level 1-10: A little strange dust/lesser magic essence.
Level 11-15: Much strange dust/greater magic essence.
Level 16-20: Much strange dust/lesser astral essence.
Level 21-25: Little soul dust/greater astral essence.
Level 26-30: Much soul dust/lesser mystic essence.
Level 31-35: Little vision dust/greater mystic essence.
Level 36-40: Much soul dust/lesser nether essence.
Level 41-45: Little dream dust/greater nether essence.
Level 46-50: Much dream dust/lesser eternal essence.
Level 51-55: Little illusion dust/greater eternal essence
Level 56-60: Much illusion dust/greater eternal essence
Shards:
Shards come from blue / purple items
Level 1-20: Small glimmering
Level 21-25: Large glimmering
Level 26-30: Small glowing
Level 31-35: Large glowing
Level 36-40: Small radiant
Level 41-45: Large radiant
Level 46-50: Small brilliant
Level 51-60: Large brilliant
so to do +5 dmg 2h or +3 dmg 1h I'd need to get lev 31-35 items.
Perhaps my ench is just too high for my lev (lev 43, 260 ench) and I need to wait until I can solo in Scarlet Monestary.
Lastly, on my server the beastslayer enchant recipes cost 8G+ while demonslaying is 15G buyout.
Shard are way up there - 10G buyout for large radiant and 3.75G-4.5G buyout for Large Glowing.
Has anyone found good crafted items for their shards? Something I can get ingredients for at l43 and give to a high lev tailor/ engineer/ leatherworker?
