TheWoWDBAfter several months of doing daily Wild Transmutes, I do not find this to be valuable. In fact, more often, using this transmute even at level 3 produces negative results. The received transmuted items are of lower value, are fewer in number, and are unhelpful or can be easily purchased from the auction house.
If only the Wild Transmute provided items which could not be obtained another way, or if there was a guarantee of a resource that was necessary.
The Viscous, Oily, and Black Transmutagens that you get from it are used to Transmute: Meat to Pet but I have so far only received pets (with a 7 day cooldown) that can be purchased from vendors. The Transmutagens can also be used to Transmute Blood of Sargeras, but those are plentiful ingame.
Basically, I believe Wild Transmutation has proved to be a net waste of time and resources.
EDITED TO ADD:
Jan. 16. 2017I just did my last Wild Transmutation. Recieved Oily Transmutagen and Gelatinous Glob (vendor trash worth 7g). No more.

Is using this worth it after you got all the recipes? just feels its kinda useless to do every day
Just received an Oily and Glob today, Really makes it feel worthwhile doing. Seems to have took a real dive lately.
