I am seriously considering picking up enchanting and skilling up to 360 so I can put the +12 spell damage enchant on my rings.
I am wondering if anyone with experience of skilling up enchanting can give me a ball park figure of how much this is going to cost. Bear in mind I already have a low level DE alt with skill at around 150, if that will help at all.
One more thing, please don't ***** about/question my decision to spend so much money for 24 spell damage. I'm not posting so people can question my motives or how I like to spend my money/time in WoW.
/rant over
Thanks in advance everyone :)

It depends how you're levelling the enchanting.
Buying mats from the AH to level then it will cost you many hundreds of gold (especially after 300).
You may be able to offset the cost somewhat (or make a small profit to around 250) by DE items and selleng 90% of your mats (keeping 10% to level).

Just to agree with Kel. Try to not buy any mats from the AH. Instead buy cheap items and DE them. You might also want to consider running solo dungeons for mats, are getting your alts to send you any unsellable crafted items.
Thanks a lot, I will try to get my mats from DE'ing instead of buying them.
The dungeon idea is another good one I'd overlooked. I'll get right on dungeon farming, it's easy with mage aoe anyway :)
Still looking for a monetary figure from anyone who had powerlevelled enchanting, that would be a great help as I'll be be able to prepare for this powerlevelling a bit better.

Rough estimate for 225-300 skill level...About 250-300G. This includes buying some mats, buying some items to DE, and the training costs. It's a rough ballpark figure; I didn't track it exactly.
I'm sure you could probably do it cheaper. You can accumulate the necessary mats over about a 1-2 week period, buying up the low priced greens to DE and keeping an eye on the mats themselves for the bargain prices. Find a good leveling guide and level on the cheapest (i.e., lowest cost of materials required) enchants.
Sorry, I don't recall how much it cost to do 150-225 (it was a while ago) and I don't have any info for going over 300 yet. I haven't leveled my enchanter alt enough to do it yet.

It's free (actually a money-maker) to about 275. That's when power-levelling starts costing you, because the recipes you need to level require you to start DEing more expensive items.
Well I just ran RFC and DM and got a lot of greens and four blues to DE and sent stacks of wool and linen to an alt with tailoring.
So I'm going to ride the instances I can solo for a while and hope that I can afford the struggle from ~275 onwards.
Thanks again for your advice everyone. I never liked alchemy anyway :)

Once you get past 150 or so, it becomes faster to quest for gold and buy mats (actually bid on items that DE into the mats). The slower you're willing to take it, the less it will cost.
At 275 you can start disenchanting everything from outlands, so now you can just run dungeons all day to get rep with all the factions, all your heroic keys, and you'll get a decent amount of shards from this. Keep running heroics, shard the junk epics, sell those and buy more mats. It will cost alot, but you can cushion a huge % of the cost by running every outlands dungeon over and over to get heroic keys and whatnot.

I'm not a huge fan on running instances, which is why I nearly always fly solo, but I will do what has to be done, thanks mikelolol.

I really wasn't a fan until 70, but now I'm starting to like them alot. Kinda funny how that works. I mean I REALLY didn't like them for a while. I maybe ran 4-5 instances from 58-70, now I'm grinding rep to get key'd everywhere and its becoming pretty fun.
Well i recently went through the 275-300 lvls and 300-375 for my guild. I was 275 just for de'ing, but then found out i couldn't DE epics from kara till 300. Took about 300-400g to get from 275-300, but this was all mats bought since i was in a hurry.
Then we decided we needed someone in case mongoose and others droped. So in a week i lvled from 300-375. This took about 1k g plus I got about 25 lvls off random people w/ free enchants for mats. I also had tons of arcane dust and planar essence saved from getting 2 toons from 60-70
The big cost is the 360-375 range, since you said you were gonna stop there you will miss out on that. Making the eternium rod at lvl 375 itself is around 500g.
I spent a lot of gold getting to 375, but it was worth it since i had a few k saved and would rather be benefical to my guild than have an epic flyer.
edit: Oh not to mention the +20 healing to each ring i get on my priest is awesome.
P.S. Tuesday yesterday was the day I got to 375 and mongoose dropped =P
