JC is easy to level and the bonuses are nice. JC only trinkets and 3 better gems you get. BS is the devil when it comes to mats to level it. You better have a mountain of gold or a lot of time to farm mats.
Its not horrible, although the thorium part of it is. You need loads of thorium, and I mean LOADS. A few hours farming it might get you enough, just for that particular section of BSing. Get the mithril spurs recipe is the only advice I can give.
JC is slow just <300 as well, but I didn't find it to be as bad as BS. I just waited a few days and bought the mats from the AH. After that, it was easy peasy. Just cut super cheap gems and make a few items on the way to 350, then get a huge influx of cuts again.
