Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Potion of Nightmares cost 10 gold41 silver. Most of that is Talandra's Rose - 2 at 3 gold80 silver each, 7 gold60 silver, 73.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 10 gold95 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 50 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −9 gold91 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 2 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 9 gold93 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -95.4% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 128 units across 19 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
