Given how little of the L51+ gear you can craft are of use to anyone but crafters, and the easy availablity of L51-59 gear from vendors and scrip/tomestones, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. One complaint about 3.0 crafting is that the DoW/DoM classes don't need crafted items. And for things like foods and potions, the L51+ stuff isn't that much better (and does not sell as well) as the L50- stuff.
