Where the reagents come from
Elementium Bar. Made with Smelt Elementium (Mining, Cataclysm Mining) from 2 
Elementium Ore. At lowest listed prices that makes one Elementium Bar for 16 gold, against 22 gold41 silver listed. Also a required reagent in 55 other recipes (33 Blacksmithing, 12 Jewelcrafting, 6 Engineering and 2 Inscription); Fire-Etched Dagger takes the most, 20 per craft.
Volatile Fire. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 87 other recipes (35 Leatherworking, 23 Tailoring, 18 Blacksmithing and 4 Jewelcrafting); the most per craft: Eye of Many Deaths (Jewelcrafting, 75 per craft), Ring of Warring Elements (Jewelcrafting, 75 per craft), Jeweler's Ruby Monocle (Jewelcrafting, 50 per craft), Clutches of Evil (Leatherworking, 40 per craft) and Dragonfire Gloves (Leatherworking, 40 per craft).

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Vicious Pyrium Breastplate cost 399 gold65 silver. Most of that is Elementium Bar - 15 at 22 gold41 silver each, 336 gold15 silver, 84.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 420 gold68 silver - 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.
Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut. Listings are asking prices, not sales. Recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we estimate crafting profit →
