Tailoring vs quest rewards

I know that tailoring largely had a hard time keeping up with even
the non-raid drops and quest rewards pre-TBC, but how's it faring
with the new recipes?

(Yes, I know I can go look at Thotbott and compare, but if anyone
here has already gone to that effort and feels inclined to share,
then that'd be great.)

On the whole there's not a lot of tailored items that I've acutally
used (beyond bags).

However, I'm currently saving up my primal mooncloth for:

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=56798
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=56797
(the downside to these being the graphics - they're just re-coloured
Prophecy items, which I never found particularly attractive - lazy
Blizzard!)

If I could ever get the patterns (or find someone with them), these
look nice too:

But that collection of 5 items requires 58 primal mooncloth which, at
2 per 4 days will take me 116 days to make. Or i could buy the cloth
at around 100g a piece, totalling 5800g. Hmmm.

But note that the top 3 in my list are all BoP, so if you want the
items you have to make them yourself.

The ssame goes for the similar epic tailored cloth items for warlocks
& mages too.
