Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Arcane Bomb cost 233 gold67 silver. Most of that is Delicate Arcanite Converter - 1 at 220 gold60 silver each, 220 gold60 silver, 94.4% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 245 gold96 silver per craft, 81 gold98 silver per item at 3 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
