Wrath Epic Gem Market

I know every server is different, but how is the Wrath epic gem market on your server? Is anyone working these in the AH with any success? Since the Cata gems have an item level requirement, I'm thinking Wrath epics might still be selling very well but don't want to take a chance on them just yet.

no market. Nobody is going to pay much for something that they can replace with a near free green gem from Cata. Yes, the cata gems have a gear requirement, but you´ll have that gear very quickly and most people don´t really try to gem leveling gear. Hyjal and Vash are both very easy and don´t require squeeking out stats.

Not quite true. Remember you can't use the 'near free' cata gems on anything less that iLvl 300, which you won't be seeing 'til 80+, and there's 20 whole levels where slottable gear is available.
Hit level 60. Run Hellfire Ramps. Get something like
this
drop (there are similar examples for all specs/armour classes).
Sticking 3x +20 primary stat epic gems into that is going to be more or less the best thing you can have until well into Wrath content, and well worth the money assuming your rich main is bankrolling it all and you want to rip through BC levelling that bit faster. This goes for anything from BC content - since you can use wrath gems, a slot is the best thing you can find on any gear, and there's quite a bit of it.
The problem is getting hold of the raw gems - no-one sane is going to blow an alchemy transmute on that any more, and I doubt it's worth prospecting titanium either. And I think most people have finished dumping their spares and/or got sick of the extortionate AH fees for trying to do so.
As a JC trying to make a few extra gold you're much better off making the
+16 stats
rare
gems
- there still seem to be plenty of dirt cheap scarlet rubies knocking around, and whilst it's not a huge market I can easily sell 2-3 of the cut ones of each type every day for 35g a pop, and that is mostly pure profit.

I haven't tryied to sell the cut Wrath Gems in the AH after launch. But I have sold alot of the rare gems in the ah in the past few days and they have sold with no problems.
The market is more then likely going to be hit or miss. As there are no set toons being leveled at this time. Its random. But I would try the basic cuts Agil,Strenght,and Intell for red. And try Stam,Spirit, and Hit for blue. However I'm not sure if the other cuts have a good market or not.
I have seen the epic cuts in the Ah for 50-85g and the rares for 20-60g depending on the cut. But I'm not sure if the items sold or not in the AH.

My hunter is level 79 and I'm
still
wearing those pants with 3 +20 agility gems in it. I think I'll sink a couple hundred gold into it and see what happens. With 20+ levels of possible use, I think it might be worth a shot.
