Just my opinion of what its going to do.
In the short term, just after the patch, Im sure the price of FL is going to drop some, and of course the price of the Orbs is going to run up (actually aready has on my server). On my server, FL sells for avg. 50g. Already Orbs have spiked at 25g, then dropped back to around 20g, but that is up from the 5-8g they were selling for. I am guessing they will both end up selling for around 25g or so once the patch goes live.
BUT, while most of us have a big stash of Orbs right now, that surplus is going to dwindle pretty quick. So I expect the initial prices to fall kinda low, maybe below 20g for FL as everone cashes in their Orbs, but to rise back to close to what it was after a few weeks. I would also guess that the smarter play would be to save your Orbs until after the initial surge, because once they are gone, they really aren't all the quick to restock.
Consider that it takes an average of maybe 20 minutes or so to que and run a heroic. Then, you only have a 1 in 5 shot at winning the Orb. This leads me to believe that the old-fashioned way of farming them is still going to be the best way of stocking up on FL, and this will likely result in the prices going back to close to what they are now.
So, my thinking is that you should stock up on Orbs before the patch hits, save those, and stock up on FL after the patch, and save those. Give it a few weeks, and you might be able to turn a decent profit on both after a while.
Also, speaking only from an alchy standpoint, I like being x-mute specced better than Elixer. While the proc rate is limited on making gems, there is a huge market for them right now, and it doesnt seem to be going down much. I make my gems dailiy, and am guaranteed a 100-150g profit, double that if I get a proc. And I just use a x-mute spec alchly to make my flasks for me. Find a good one that lets you keep the procs and you have the best of both worlds. Just be sure to tip that player WELL, especially if you get good results from the procs.
