I always do enchanting. Scour the AH for green items where the DE materials would make more money than the green item would. Enchanting materials have no deposit cost on the AH, you can keep reposting them all you want.
Disenchanting alone will get you to up around 60 enchanting, which lets you DE items up to around level 30 requirement.
Example, pick up enchanting.
Go to the AH and immediately scan for the prices on Strange Dust, Lesser Magic Essence, and Greater Magic Essence. For now, let's just say they sell for 15 silver, 20 silver, and 50 silver respectively.
Then scan all Uncommon armor (weapons tend to be overpriced for the materials you get. so go armor) with level requirements 11-15 (15 is the limit until you get over 25 enchanting). Items from 11-15 will be guaranteed to get 2 strange dust or more, and they also give greater magic essence instead of lesser magic essence.
I find a green level 11 "of the whale" cloth glove/belt, which no one in their right mind would ever buy. They have it listed as a 9 silver buyout. I snag that, disenchant it, and get 2 Strange Dust. I turn around and immediately sell them at 15 silver a piece (I do them as 1 dust per auction. people like smaller increments, as most people just need that 1 or 2 dust to do an enchant).
That's a 21 silver profit, and all I had to do was walk into the auction house.
This works well into the level 30 items with Vision Dust and Nether Essence. Beyond that, it's not really that great. It will work for getting cheaper materials to level your skill, but it doesn't really become a money maker... stick with the lower levels for making money, mid levels to help level your skill.

I think alot of people were missing that it is a new server, nobody has money thus a very very poor economy just now. I would say that with 2 gathering as the server picks up you'll be fine, until then you might want to focus on finding mobs that drop good amounts of trash and rotate between grinding for junk and questing. As soon as you can solo dm you'll be able to make some cash that way also. Eventually the server economy will normalize and you can go back to making money purely from the double gathering profs.
