Professional Farmers

i suspect that a capped toon makes about 2g an hour and so whatever mats take a half hour to gather will converge to be worth about 1g.

I think that most capped characters actually make much more than this. if you are talking about just doing small scale raids, it's not much more. Maybe around 3-4g depending on size and luck of drops. Most vendor trash in the 55+ instances sells for 80-2g easily so 1 or two drops of that and you are already over your estimate. Add in possible BoE greed drops and that shoots up by a lot.

Even if you look at an hour of farming for gold most players could get at least 4-5 gold in an hour between cash drops and vendor trash. Then add in cloth and other items that you can AH and your GPH is more like 10-15 and that is a relaxed estimate.
