Enchanting is a very expensive profession to level. On top of the fact that you have to pick up a fairly large number of greens/blues for materials during the leveling process, you also are not gaining the money you normally would from selling those drops on the AH or to vendors.
I'd like to suggest that, with the redesign of Azeroth, that Enchanting be changed up a bit to remove some of the pain of leveling. To that end, I suggest that they make Disenchant usable on certain types of enemies to distill their essence into Enchanting materials.
Similar to how a Skinner can skin beasts, an Enchanter would be able to use Disenchant on elementals and demons. The return on materials should be small - perhaps the creatures would only give you motes of dust, and combining ten of those motes would give you one full dust.
Thoughts? My Enchanter has been at max level for quite awhile, and I remember how painful and pricey it was to get him to that point; I think doing this would help lighten the burden on an Enchanter-in-training's purse, and possibly help deflate the cost of Enchanting mats down to a more reasonable level for everyone.

I'd be ok with Elementals, demons is a bit overdoing it, to be honest.
Remember that there's a reason that many enchanters chose Tailoring as their other professions - it provides alot of the greens easily, and can easily be seen as "the gathering profession" that mirrors it.

I did have Tailoring on my Enchanter while leveling, but dropped it because at the time it was somewhat useless for anything (outside of making DE fodder and the occasional bag) for my class (Paladin). If I had done so on a cloth-wearer this would've been more useful, but that wasn't the case. In order to get maxed-out initially, I not only had to shard all my Tailoring wares but also still wound up having to sell the majority of the greens that other professions would have vendored for extra money.
With other pairings - mining with blacksmithing, engineering, jewelcrafting; herbalism with alchemy and inscription - the gathering professions can be a great money-maker as you're leveling, even if you're also leveling your crafting profession as you go. In the case of Enchanting\Tailoring, you're limited in your resell potential, and (at least in my experience) usually wind up dumping a ton of money into both at some point.
I'd prefer a duty-free method of leveling Enchanting, personally. Just my opinion, though. This suggestion would offer a way to farm mats for enchanting without draining the money you'd normally get from vendoring.
