Who knows how things will change in 2.2. I highly doubt it will change much. Same problem exists; why bother going through the effort of making crafted gear when myth gear is easier to get and better.
The cycle shall continue.

The new crafted gear will require myth tomes or some equivalent. However, each crafted piece will again cost 2-6x the tomes compared to the vendor counterparts. The initial supply of crafting ingredients will be very low and they will cost exorbitant amounts while everyone gears up by purchasing the vendor items.

Then raiders will need consumables or enchants or something, so they will make money by selling the tome ingredients to crafters. The final step is for the raiders to complain about the money grubbing crafters trying to rob them blind when they see the price of crafted gear. And thus, the circle of blissful ignorance is complete.
