At Level 77 you will require 1,000G for Cold Weather Flying. Some of
the better gear you will likely purchase to get you into Heroic level
content is from reputation factions. This might cost you another
200-300G, if you have a crafting profession to level up expect to pay
300-500G just for training recipes. Skill training will cost you
another 500-600G.

These are all rogue estimates, but even with all those things I would
not expect to spend more even with all those things than you make. At
level 80, you will still have a surplus of quests to continue to bring
in the cash as well.

I would say around 5k at least. That factors in a few zones of you
finishing up as a level 80. There are a lot of quests and a lot of
money to be made. Not to mention the insane amount of dailies
available as well. Lots of money to be made now.

My warlock is now level 79,5 and has 4k gold. He started with zero money
into the new content. I bought cold weather flying for 1k gold and spend
around 1.5k on leveling enchanting to 405. I disenchanted the gear I
found and couldn't use (pretty much everything so far) but used the
materials myself. If you vendor the stuff, disenchant and sell the mats
or manage to sell some BoE gear at the AH you should make more than
enough money.

You should make enough money to buy cold weather flying when you reach
level 67 and in case you don't have an epic flyer you probably can buy
one at the same time or shortly after.

Not so sure about that. I disenchanted everything I got because my
warlock is an enchanter and I've regretted it pretty often. I
disenchanted several pieces that would have earned me more than 10 gold
if I just vendored it and the mats I got from it were in the 5-8 gold
region.

Remember, also, that any quests you don't do for xp will be worth more
money at level 80. This last week I did Grizzly Hills and Zul'drak, two
zones I skipped on my way from 70 to 80. Zul'drak got me over 1000g in
quest turnins *alone*, no counting money from selling disenchanted greens,
trash, cloth, and leather.

I started Wrath with my warrior who was level 70, but didn't have an
epic flier, and I had a total of 1000g on the account.
At level 77 I had roughly 3000g over the whole account, and I didn't
spend anything on skillups, nor did I sell anything off the AH. I just
stockpiled mats from engineering (mote extractor) which is my only
gathering skill.
After buying cold weather flying I was down to 2k. I kept questing
until I dinged 80, and I was back to 3k gold.

I did some more questing until I hit the 5.2k mark and then bought my
epic flier (mount + skill).
The following zones were untouched when my character was
"complete" (level 80 with swift flier):
_grizzly hills
_storm peaks
_90% of Icecrown

At that point gold somehow became a non-issue, I power-levelled
blacksmith and engineering from 360/360 to 440/450 directly from the
auction house during some dedicated AH playing session.

I strongly advise AGAINST questing in Storm peaks or Icecrown without
a swift flier.

If you want to put that in relation with your own game pace, my
current /played since I dinged 80 is 3 days 20 hours, and I got the
level 80 achievement on 11/30. Wow, 3 hours a day, that's a lot

Here are my current "statistics" from the wealth tab of my warrior
(which should be close to the numbers you need). He has completed most
(I'd say 80-90%) of the quests in all the zones of Wrath.
Total gold acquired: 12164
Gold looted: 1104
Gold from quest rewards: 8089
Gold earned from auctions: 59
Gold from vendors: 2912
Most gold ever owned: 5310 (ding epic flier!)

And here are the stats for my "auction house" character (level 70),
which I only started using after my warrior dinged 80:

Total gold acquired: 11854
Gold looted: 5
Gold from quest rewards: 91
Gold earned from auctions: 11712
Auctions posted: 624
Auctions purchased: 355
Most expensive bid: 1000 (the epic blacksmith shield - it was cheaper
than the cost of the mats )
Most expensive auction sold: 237
Gold from vendors: 45
Most gold ever owned: 1995

I hope these figures help.
Unless you want one of those crazy expensive mounts, you won't really
need to grind gold.

Even having spent gold on weapons and gear, my lvl 80 DK currently has
around 3.5k to 4k gold from questing, selling junk and mining the new
ores.

Depends on what all you're getting from the quests. On my mage, I
took all the rewards and disenchanted them (along with any boe
greens). Auctioning those mats, combined with standard monetary
rewards netted me a little under 4k gold between 70 and 80. 1k of
that went towards cold weather flying. The other I dumped into enough
mats to get a few pieces of gear enchanted and buy a few boe epics to
get intially setup for raiding.

One minor note is that all my cloth drops I used myself to level
tailoring skill. If I'd saved all those I'd have a good deal more
cash on hand.

Aye, just remember that if you're not a tailor, you'll see much less
cloth drops; so little drops actually that non-tailors can't really
make "a good deal of cash" out of them.
Imho the AH cloth market is essentially "by tailors, for tailors".
Others can't compete and just follow the market whenever they need to
empty one of those annoying cloth inventory slots.

Tailors have the ability to loot corpses that don't belong to them but
rather others in their party

so if someone loots a body the tailor has a chance to get some cloth
that was left there and only tailors can loot this cloth

I'm not sure if tailors get increased cloth drop rates but I've
regularly got piles of 6 cloth at a time

It's new for WoTLK. You learn it right where you get off the boat.
I'm not sure what the exact frequency is, but like Catriona mentioned
I have personally picked up cloth that other group members could not
see. In instances when I get it like that it's often 5-7 pieces at a
time.

They do. My non-tailor pally has seen FAR less cloth dropping when
solo than my tailor-mage. It pretty much pins you down to farming for
cloth with your tailor (sucks if you have a healing class as you
tailor and used to use a DPS alt).

My priest is also a tailor as well, which I might go ahead and keep
throughout the leveling process, but I'll probably drop it for
something else after she hits 80 as the BoP rewards of tailoring
simply aren't good enough to justify keeping two of them anymore (not
to mention that the cost to level the skill has went up dramatically).

I'm not entirely sure where you get the idea that tailoring increases the
frequency of cloth dropping. It's certainly not what I've observed.

I make a fair bit of coin selling my excess cloth, though I don't actually
make a point of farming it.

Tailors get a skill which allows them to find more cloth than usual. How
much more, I don't know, since I've not levelled my tailor yet, but in
instances I often see a mage friend picking up cloth off corpses that
somebody else already looted and didn't see the cloth on.

It's pretty high prices, yep, seems to have finally come down a bit on
my server, it was 30g+ for a long time but I managed to get a few stacks
for 15g last night (wanted to make frost res gear and was only a few
points short of the recipes) so I guess it's finally getting more
reasonable! Levelling tailoring when my main character is not a tailor
and so doesn't have the skill to find more cloth is kinda slow going
lol.
