As I recall (my memeory isn't the greatest, and I did this back in Feb. when I first hit 70), I did something similar. I farmed a lot of leather, and made armor kits for AH and some items that I sent to my enchanter alt to disenchant and sell the mats on AH. I just wish it was as easy to farm for the epic flier as it was the normal flier, lol. (Probably doesn't help that as soon as I get some gold, it gets sent to an alt for training and rare recipes )
