Just curious if anyone has this information easily avaliable. I am just starting to get my inscription skill up and learning glyphs. I would like to make a little gold in the process, so I would like to know what glyphs each class uses the most, especially if any of these are lower level glyphs.
I know all this info is here already, and Im not asking you to do my legwork for me, but if you already have this info on hand, it would be much appreciated. Until then, I guess Ill head over to the class forums and start making a list:-)

TY Kraklin, Ill check that site out tomorrow. I know Im not gonna get rich off leveling glyphs, just looking to see what would sell even at all. So many of what we make is just straight vendor trash, that even if its a gold or 2, its better than nothing when its good for a skillup.

Forget that. No "leveling-glyphs" will grand you any gold. They all, at 99%, sell very under material cost. The only low level glyphs that sell are the minors one.

That's strange, 'cause I did make gold on it while leveling. Not a whole lot, but 100-200g per day when I made sure to repost/recraft 2-3 times a day. It wasn't much, but it helped offset the cost of leveling inscription by a healthy chunk (prices are often high on the mid-level herbs).
What I did, was that I made 1 of every glyph I could make and put all the glyphs valued >4g on the AH. The prices fluctuated wildly, so which glyphs went on the AH on a given day varied, but I normally had 25-40% of all my glyphs on the AH.
The reason is, I suspect, that a lot of the people that level inscription for the shoulder enchants, doesn't make all the leveling glyphs. They make the cheapest ones and often just of one kind even though they can make 2-3 different ones.
It probably varies a lot from realm to realm, but that is my, albeit limited, experience.

Inscription is a pain in the ass. Everyone still believes this is the big money maker which is far from the truth. Expect a lot of competition and constant undercutting = a lot of work for a few sales.
Mind you that it probably is the most profitable profession in the sense that a glyph may cost you 3 gold to make in mats and sell for 30g on the AH. But the supply totally dominates the demand which unfortunately often ends in the market crashing and glyphs will barely be profitable.
If you want to make real gold with glyphs you will have to build up a massive stockpile.
I have found alchemy to be much much much better than inscription (though I still do glyphs it's on a much smaller scale now. I just won't take the time to constantly list/relist 250 glyphs every day. With Postal and Quick Auctions 3 this task becomes much easier but I still cba to do it.
I couldn't agree more. When I leveled Inscription, I put stuff up on the AH at cut prices, and still had people undercut, and then re-posted lower, and people still undercut, usually selling some glyphs for a pittance.
Cheers.

@Praest: Your server must be very weird if "leveling-glyphs" sell for over 4g. Normally they are around 33-60 silvers.

Very rarely do I see ANY glyphs under 1-2g on my server.

Your server must be low on new scribes then.

I have now done it on 2 different servers and although the prices went up and down like freaking yoyos, I still sold a decent amount of leveling glyphs for >4g. Don't ask me why (apart from the reasons I stated earlier), though. :)
I did notice one of the other glyph sellers on the second server suddenly selling some of the leveling glyphs for ~40g with no cheaper glyphs on the AH at one time, so I suspect that he bought up the cheap ones <1g and reposted. I didn't mind, 'cause I sold a few of them when I undercut him. :)
