My jewelcrafter can cut 4 or 5 different meta gems. Not any rare stuff
really. I haven't cut any meta gems yet, because the prices of raw
meta gems are high and I can easily mine other gems without the risk
of making loss.

My question is: What meta gems are good to sell? What meta gems really
suck?

I'm interested about +18 stamina meta gem which can be bought from the
Consortium vendor in Karazhan. The problem is that my guild isn't that
far in Karazhan yet. I'm thinking about paying some gold to a member
of another guild who is far enough there and is saved to the instance
and then forming a mini-raid and then walking to an empty instance. Is
it safe to walk to the Consortium vendor if the instance has been
cleared before or can there be respawns?

Are you thinking of the Powerful Earthstorm Diamond? +18 stamina and 5%
stun resist.
You can buy that from the Consortium vendor in southern Nagrand I
believe.

Do what everyone else does. Stand in a cit and spam trade hoping for
tips.

Never tried selling them tbh, they're not so common that it's something I
really want to risk money on :-/

There can indeed be a few respawns on the way, not entirely sure about the
story behind them - either they're linked to Netherspite so if he's dead
they're gone, or they aren't and they repop anyway; I thought it was the
first but someone else told me it was the second option.

It's possible to get through with careful use of invisibility potions even
if mobs have respawned though; I went through with a friend's warlock when
he wanted the recipe, I was on my rogue so could stealth (note some of the
mobs go invisible so you also need some way to detect invisibility; warlock
came in useful there), he had to wait on potion cooldowns between groups.

I don't think this applies to jewelcrafting. After you get the skill
to 350, there's no need to level up the skill anymore. No great stuff
waiting at 375, unless you're raiding BT. You don't get any benefit
from powerleveling to 375. There are some powerlevellers, but they use
patterns which are dirt cheap, such as resilience stuff from Halaa.
Thus the market for other gems is very good (ast least on my server).

Spamming trade channel helps too. :-)

I disagree on the statement of there being no craftables that can be
sold for more than the cost of the materials. I regularly purchase
netherweave cloth on the auction house and turn it into 16-slot bags,
and also purchase arcane dust and make imbued netherweave. Both of
which sell for more than the cost of the mats that went into it. Also
the tailoring specialty cloth can make money. Since you make 2 pieces
of your specialty cloth using only the mats needed for 1, then
technically only half the mats went into producing each piece. On my
server, the mats for shadoweave typically run about even with the
price of shadoweave, so its a 1:1 ratio. Since I get 2 pieces of
shadoweave from the mats for only 1, its a 1:2 ratio, meaning I double
my investment when I buy the mats. While I could make more if I
farmed the mats, it saves me time when I just buy them.

First off, go in the front door and have the gatekeeper teleport you to
Aran's room. After that, provided that netherspite is dead, you have a
straight shot to the consortium vendor, who is right outside of the chess
event. *

I think Illhoof has to be dead as well.

Not if you teleport to Aran's room, which is why I said that. *

Untrue. There are some gem cuts that sell (even on the AH) for more
than the cost of the raw gem, at least on Moonrunner.
