Just a little firsthand account on what I've done thus far.
The first part for the bracers is extremely easy. Farm some blood/venom samples (depending upon your faction) and bring your bracers plus 20g to the quest giver. Done and done.
The second chain takes a bit of doing. The guide above lists all the mats, so I won't get into that. The only part you have to actually go out and gather would be the volcanic ash. I found Flamecrest and the Ogre mound in the Steppes to be the best spots.
Once you have the Ectoplasmic Distiller, the fun begins. It requires one Goblin Rocket Fuel each time you activate the machine, and you're given 8 of them upon completion of the prior quest. If you play your cards right, you can definitely get by just using those 8, but it doesn't hurt to have some spares. Ideally, pair up with one other person who has the quest, tag a bunch of the mobs you need, and plant the distiller before killing them. You won't even go through the 16 rocket fuel you start with between the two of you.
I've just turned in the distiller along with the ectoplasm, and have yet to tackle the next step. The biggest advice I'd give to someone is to team up with one other person for this step if you want to do it on the cheap. Goblin Rocket Fuel was selling for 1g each before the patch hit on Thunderhorn. And now it's 2-3g apiece. Much better to get it done with what you're given, then sell any surplus.
