It's an 18 slot bag though, and on most servers, worth alot of cash. If you could make these one after the other, the market would be flooded with them, and the prices would drop considerably.
Bingo. Many months ago (I want to say around 9 months ago or so) the pattern for this changed from around 4 Mooncloth to 12 Mooncloth. At 4 Mooncloth, people were easily crafting themselves and their guilds these bags. Blizzard apparently wanted them to be a lot rarer.

Also, the only other 18 slot bag that comes to mind is the Onyxia one.
Same here, that's the only one I can think of.

I was outraged so i think if we complain enough that blizzard will change. i mean it worked for pallys. so all you tailors who are outraged let me get a reply and anyone else who wants to reply go for it.
PS for u who dont know wut a bottem less bag is its a 18 slot bag that requires 12 pieces of mooncloth and mooncloth has 4 day cool down so 4x12 is 48 days a month and a half to make 1 item!!
Since Blizzard changed this recipe to make it need 8 more Mooncloth almost 10 months back, I think the current formula is right. Since this is one of only a couple of ways to get an 18 slot, I think it is fair. Think of it this way: Onyxia has a 7 day reset period. If you have 40 people fighting her, you have approximately a 7/40 chance to get an 18-slot within 48 (technically 49) days. Assuming a bag drops every time.
The recipe guarantees you an 18 slot every month and a half. No random drops involved. The only other way to make this even with the bags from Onyxia would be to make Monyxia drop like 5 bags each time, which is highly unrealistic.
As a person (300 Tailor) who has made his own Mooncloth for Mooncloth Boots, Mooncloth Robe, and Belt of the Archmage, Mooncloth adds up a lot faster than you'd think. Just start hoarding it away faaar in advance. It'll take forever to get the pattern anyway. And on the plus side, many of the blue Mooncloth items stink, even compared to the tier 0 cloth sets, so Mooncloth, despite an ungodly cooldown, is relatively cheap on the AH. Two Arcanite transmutes (4 days) would be around 10 gold (not including materials). Mooncloth (four days) is around 8-10 gold on my server, and that does include the materials (two felcloth, worth around 2-4 gold). Mooncloth is a lot cheaper, speaking in day/gold ratios, than arcanite.
The recipe is fine as it is. And hard as hell to get. All necessary changes have been made.
