What are you crafting that is worth disenchanting? I have a alt that is an enchanter and I am always looking for better (and easier) ways of making money.
It's a secret(just kidding).
Actually, I do lots of things, at least 1 for each level of cloth, not counting moon/fel cloths. That way I always have a variety of enchanting mats up for sale.
Rather than tell you what works on my server, I'll tell you how to figure out the best way on your server:
Addons:
ReagentCost
Why: Tells you how much the average cost of materials is for your craftable goods based on Auction House prices.
Enchantrix
Why: Tells you what an item will disenchant into and what the average price of those items will be.
Auctioneer
Why: The other two addons use information gathered by this one. Try to do a scan once a day.
Bonus: Once you have done a few scans and have an idea of what to make, you can craft your goods in bulk all while doing your daily AH scan. Good time for a restroom break; to - in the words of Flintlocke - make a sammitch; or just time to catch up on an episode of Southpark that you happen to have on your DVR from the previous night. Just make sure you stop by every couple of mins to hit a key so that you don't go AFK and stop crafting.
Tip: Don't forget that often people list stacks of cloth on the AH for cheaper than what you could get the equivalent number of bolts for, so there are some things that may only look marginally profitable via ReagentCost/Enchantrix that are very profitable when you buy the raw cloth instead of the bolts. This is especially true of Mageweave and Runecloth. Again, this is on my server, so what these are may be different.
Hope this helps.
Edit:
One Caveat
The value of disenchantables from Enchantrix is average. You may lose money on an individual item you make. Some disenchants will reward you with less and others will reward you with much much more. Plan to make a lot at one time and it usually averages out to what Enchantrix says.
