I transmute air to fire and make about 3-5g profit on each one. I buy Essence of Air in bulk and transmute it to fire and sell on AH or in trade channel.
What! Think you may be shooting yourself in the foot here?
The fire is far easier to come by than the air. It drops relatively often from On'Goro, in copious amounts in MC (doesn't matter if you're not doing MC, it still becomes available in the AH) and in large amounts from BRD, which is very often run.
Air, on the other hand is pretty much only gained from the elementals in Silithus, which are a little tight at dropping it, to say the least!
I'm not an alchemist but I've ground essences for ages for my robe (10 of fire,earth,air,water) and belt (12 of fire and water) of the archmage. I ground most and bought a few of each. I found it much cheaper to buy the water and have it transmuted to air than trying to buy the air.
Transmuting air to fire sounds crazy to me, but perhaps you'll put me straight.
