Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Critical Strike Taladite cost 11 gold20 silver. Most of that is Blackrock Ore - 10 at 68 silver each, 6 gold80 silver, 60.7% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 11 gold78 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold84 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 9 gold36 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 9 silver20 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 9 gold45 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -84.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 99 units across 18 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
