Disenchanting your Way to World of Warcraft Gold

A buddy of mine was telling me the other day about how he makes some decent gold in World of Warcraft as an Enchanter. He said he went to the Scarlet Monestary and disenchanted every blue item he got. He told me that most of the items dropped Small Radiant Shards (which are fairly popular on his server) that he was able to sell for a good amount of gold (he said 20-30 pieces for 10). He said the rest of the items disenchanted into Large Glowing Shards, which are key ingredients for adding damage modifiers to two-handed and one-handed weapons. He said he was able to get on average about 3-4g per Shard. In one run, he was able to make about 40 g from selling the Small Radiant Shards and the Large Glowing Shards. He said the run took him 45 minutes to complete.

40 g for 45 mins of work? Not a bad return. If anyone has had a similar experience in the Scarlet Monestary, let me know.
