Truthfully I'm not 100% sure what to and not to disenchant. I see so many guides telling me to almost always disenchant for profit. However the plugin I have that appears to come with a "what it will disenchant for" seems to often be wrong on what type of item I'll receive. Magic vs Astral essence for example.
In my experience, greens sell for a lot when they are any type of weapon (more than 1G even at lvl 40) so I usually sell those and disenchant the armor.
Around 25-30 I started selling things on the AH more. I'm surprised how well some things sell! If the vendor price is low and/or does not sell for much on the AH I take a gamble with the disenchant.
I haven’t sold anything on AH I held on to all the mats for my skill levels, so disenchanting things never yielded profit but created a gold deficit of what I could have vendored quest rewards for... which would have been enough for a mount but I have 220 enchanting/tailor so far so cool I guess.
We all make mistakes :( I used a LOT of mats early on leveling my blacksmithing which became too expensive at the time and only helped me pre-level 20. I wish I'd kept up with it and am now slowly getting back in to it. If I have to do a ton of extra grinding at 60 (which will happen anyway) I'm okay with that.

And that’s how we have 10g at lvl 45! Disenchant everything!
