Break-even is 14 gold18 silver per craft, 4 gold72 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’s lowest listed price is 17 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 37 gold52 silver; the Auction House would keep 2 gold55 silver of a sale, leaving 34 gold97 silver. That is an estimated 259.4% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.8% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 367 units across 17 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
