I recently dropped alchemy for JC on my hunter, and have been loving every second of it. I just started doing the daily for it the other day and have 3 tokens for JC already.
Now I'm not sure what to do though. Dragon's eye sells for 500G+ a piece on my server. So, my options are to sell them or start buying recipes, some of which require 6 tokens to get.
So I'm wondering, what is everyone else doing? I'm appalled at the fact that I'm going to be spending 3k per recipe. Heck, even at 300G each(1800 per recipe), its still pretty damn steep.

Gold can be re-earned, but recipes are forever.
Prices will deflate down, so get yourself a healthy bankroll then grab the recipes.
Just as Planned.
The 6 token recipes are all for jewelry that is BOE. If you really need that jewelry for your toon, you are almost always better off tipping someone 100-150g (or hope a guildie has it already) to craft for you and saving yourself 6 tokens.
Sell the dragon eye's now while it is extremely profitable, tip someone else if you need a JC cut now or the BOE jewelry.
Caveats:
You want to be or are your guild's JC, then start learning recipes.
You want to cash in on some of the cuts and play the AH. Look before you learn. Check the AH to see if the recipe you are about to learn is over/underrepresented. No sense in learning a recipe for profit if there are multiple jewelers already competing.
You have multiple toons that will share the same cuts. I have a lock (80)/priest (70)/shaman (70). All will have use for pretty much the same gems and jewelry. I learned the 6 token spellcaster necklace knowing that I would use it at least 3 times and probably more for my other guildmates. Same for the spell damage gems and spell damage metas.

The Dragon's eye used to WTB at 1500, but they have dropped. What I would do is buy a recipe when you get a request. Half the designs are lame, and there are dups (same stat, different names) Nothing wrong with holding the JC tokens, and skilling up with LK Gems until you get to 420 for the BoE designs.

I am already sitting at 441.
I think I might start picking up the necklaces and such, although I'm still not sure. The meta gem cuts look nice as well, but again, not sure if I will actually use the cuts.
I think I'll just sit on them for now until I'm actually close to 80. Then I'll start making decisions.
