The upcoming patch 3.3.3 will have far reaching implications for everyone trying to make a little gold. Specifically there will be some very convenient changes to the way items are listed on the auction house, the availability of rare mats, and the removal of cool downs.
First of all the auction house changes, which will make listing a large number of items easier. The new World of Warcraft auction house will allow you to drag and drop entire stacks of an item into the window and then have the option to sell in smaller quantities. This removes the requirement to break down all your stacks to sell things like infinite dust. Much more efficient auction listing and management, without the need for add ons.
Next will be the Frost Orb exchange, which allows a 1 to 1 exchange for more expensive mats. For example, when patch 3.3.3 becomes live you will be able to exchange one Frost Orb for one Frost Lotus. No doubt this will drop prices on items like Flasks immediately, so start stocking up on those vendored orbs now.
Lastly, Patch 3.3.3 will remove global cool downs on abilities like Titan Steel Bars. Obviously this will help drive the price of craftable ilvl 200 gear down as well, making gearing up easier. There should be no reason to not hit defense cap immediately after hitting lvl 80 for Death Knight Tanks.
Makes me wish I would have been saving all those Frost Orbs, so keep an eye out on ninja's needing every time.
