Laestrite Ore. No recipe, Blizzard quest reward or dungeon journal drop in our game data produces it. Also a required reagent in 53 other recipes (36 Blacksmithing, 10 Jewelcrafting, 5 Engineering and 1 Tailoring); the most per craft: Crafter's Mark of the Chained Isle (Blacksmithing, 50 per craft), Vestige of Origins (Blacksmithing, 40 per craft), Maldraxxian Runic Tablet (Jewelcrafting, 25 per craft), Aspirant's Meditation Pool (Blacksmithing, 20 per craft) and Crafter's Mark III (Blacksmithing, 20 per craft).

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Mortal Coiled Spring cost 28 gold63 silver. Most of that is Luminous Flux - 2 at 11 gold47 silver each, 22 gold94 silver, 80.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 30 gold13 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 7 gold50 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 21 gold13 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 37 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 21 gold50 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -75.1% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 509 units across 39 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
