Given the cost of Saronite Razorheads you wont get any real/useful benefit. These arrows/bullets are for guilds who pretend/need to use the "best of the best" available in WoW. Save the gold, raids are very gold-demanding.

If you follow Loque's advice, you might as well not buy flasks, buff food, pots, or getting the best gem or enchants. Honestly, if you're that concerned about money at the expense of dps, just forego selfbuffs entirely
To be honest, it all depends on what kind of game you decide to play: casual, regular, pro, uber. Casual and regular usually just skip food and flasks food, at least that's what I've seen so far while PUGging. Of course "pro's" will try to get the best of the best from every aspect of the game, no matter the cost required to obtain it. So -in general- even if it DOES give a dps boost (of course) the OP was asking if it's worth or not. Imho it's not, if you're not in a specific situation (pro/uber).
From my sheet, I get about +40 dps from Saronite Arrows. I guess you have to decide if that's significant for you, but I consider it a buff worth 15 saronite bars.
40 can be a lot or nothing, depending on your "base" DPS. What's your average dps output in 10/25 man? 3000? So it will change to what, 3040? I think that will make a difference if you're a very good player able to time every cooldown, trinket, proc. and everything else. OR if you're in a guild where leader expects you to be top-buffed and armored to the teeth :)

If you're raiding, you need Saronite Arrowheads. Plain and simple. You can make plenty of gold with dailys, and any DPS increase is a good one, especially if you plan on progressing.

Personally, I use them on harder boss fights. I don't use them in the arachnid quarter, for example, or on trash anywhere in Naxx, but I will use them on Thaddius, Saph, KT, etc, anywhere I know we might cut it close.
I don't know how things are on your server, but on mine they don't strike me as very expensive. One tip, if you are looking, if you buy the arrows they are almost always more expensive (per piece) than buying the arrow maker--don't ask me why it is. But on my server, the arrow maker is usually 35-45g for 1000 arrows. For some reason the stacks of 200 arrows ran about 10-15g (50-75g for 1000 arrows). You dont need to be an engineer to get the arrows out of the arrow maker, and, before stacks of 1000, it was a great way to save bag space as well.
It sucks, of course, cause DKs get to enchant their weapons for free, rogues get both an enchant (which they do have to pay for) and a poisin for cheap, but we are the only people who have to replenish our ammo.
On the plus side, we do have unlimited ammo to look forward to (at some point in the distant future) and hopefully blizz will add more rep ammo to the game, like in BC, which will make buying crafted ammo a thing of the past.
edited for my crappy math skills 15x5 =75 (not my origional 60)

If you are raiding, use Engineer ammo, at least on bosses. If you're casual, just use vendor ammo... that's the long and short of it.
The extra DPS from Engineer ammo is certainly worth it for raid bosses at least. Every little bit counts, and you want to be the best you can be in a raid environment.

They are a dps increase....but i don't care to spend the time for them. I play casual but still don't have a problem getting high on the meters(1-3) in 25 mans. Really it will only benefit for progression imo. Not to say i haven't used them or don't carry any, my pally is an engineer so i can get them if i'm not lazy. I just tend to not need them to win on meters ^_^
