A question for JCs out there, How's 3.3 treating you? I'm too lazy to convert any toons to JC, funnily enough the proffession has never appealed to me, but it does seem to me as, at least on my realm, most JCs are making a pretty penny in 3.3.
Raw epic gems go for about 110-120gold on the AH, whereas cut gems go for 190-220g. Is this a common trend or are JCs in my realm making a killing?

Raw gems are going for an average of about 185-200g each on my server right now.
New raid tier = new gear = demand for gems. I plan on offloading a bunch of cut epic gems over the next week and try not to sit on an excess supply for too long. Once the final wing of ICC goes live and guilds start maxing out on upgrades for the expansion, the market will deflate and I fully expect that by the time Cataclysm goes to open beta, there will bea sharp drop when people realize that rare cuts in Cataclysm are going to be better then the epic cuts we have available now.
JCs don't really have a better opportunity for raw gems. I mean, we do, but it is minimal. I've never gotten one from an Icy Prism. Prospecting Titanium has a 25% chance per for an epic gem, but it can get expensive fast.
All uncut gems I sell come from honor, generally.
But, cut gems are probably selling really well, as everyone needs 'em. You have mains replacing items in the IC5 instances and ICC. You have alts replacing gear through randoms. Profit.

It depends on the gems, but lots of raw go for around 180, and cut can go anywhere from 160 - 260 depending on the cut. Having a good diversity and checking a lot is key. If you find cheap gems, buy them all, cut them, send them to a bank. When that gem gets a good sales rate, sell hard and fast. Then hold off when the rate is bad, don't cut yourself short.
Oh also, its too late but now, but some of us bought a _ton_ of uncut gems knowing that the price was going up :P So on certain cuts, it might even look like certain cut gems are less than the uncut, but you have to remember that if you had bought the uncut a few weeks ago, you're still making a killing on them right now :P
On my server, for some reason the orange are a good profit of uncut to cut right now. Red are both expensive so you only make between 20 - 40g per sale.

I've made a ton of gold from cut gem sales. But it is slowly dieing down now that everyone is filling in all their slots with new gear. The first few days after the expansion hit I was selling a dozen cut skyflares and a dozen cut earthsiege metas every day.
The trick though, is combining Alchemy with JC, and taking the transmute mastery in Alch. I now have two toons with that combo, one transmutes cardinal rubies and one king's ambers. When the mastery procs, it's like mana from heaven. I got a five-proc last week on the rubies. That means 1k gold without cutting them. I don't get a proc too often, but when I do it's nice.
Things are slowing down now. As little as a week ago I would buy up cardinal rubies or king's ambers that were selling for 200g each because I could turn them around for 40 to 60g profit with a 12 hour auction. This was better than the easy gold I made picking lockboxes for someone who posted on the realm forum that she would pay 20g each for them to get her Ravenholdt rep for the Insane title.

"the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
