We recently made a change to the sell value and disenchant materials obtained from Legplates of Conquest. The material costs used to create this item were unintentionally low, and we were prompted to make changes to minimize the impact on the game's economy.

Actually the economy was etablished around the existence of that item. It's not like it was introduced yesterday and people were reporting surprisingly low material cost of it on these forums long time ago.
People that were swiping market from underpriced saronite were helping miners getting reasonable profits from AH sells by keeping prices around 40-45g / stack. Considering high vendor value of saronite bars the AH deposit is huge and it is simply not worth the risk of putting it on AH in the absence of blacksmiths buying them in bulk quantities.
This hotfix will cause disturbance rather than "prevent impact" on the economy (of course it will stabilize in new state but both miners and blacksmiths will be unhappy, more people will be driven to already overcrowded jewelcrafting since lack of competition can only drive price of ore down making JC even more profitable than it is now).

It is in my opinion that the profit that smiths can make from these items is only a direct reflection on the economy of each individual server, and frankly changing it will not create any difference other than lowering the price of saronite and eternal as less people will be buying in bulk, thus more and more people undercutting the longer time frame listed items on the AH. This descision is possibly one of the worst ones that blizzard has made, or at the very least, its reasoning

Any chance you could sort out the jewelcrafting disenchantables now? I know JC has a tough time making gold *cough* but my disenchanted greens still ain't worth squat. Especially considering this is the second craftable disenchantable that Blacksmithing got nerfed.
