I was wondering what are a few good ways to make money besides dailies.(which are more boring than farming to me)
Right now I have a level 80 DK tank with engineer and mining as professions(As well as cooking fishing and first aid, if that matters)
I'm mostly shooting for just 7k at the moment.

well typing in "Making gold" into wowhead search bar didn't bring up anything...
and I was looking for a more detailed way to do things since I have no idea what items to buy and sell, since some items don't sell as well as others.
Ontop of that I hear farming materials isn't nearly as good as it use to be.

You have a tank. Assuming you do not need anything from emblems of triumph, run random heroics. 20 emblems = a primary colored gem. 10 emblems = a secondary colored gem. Do the math on your server's prices to figure out which one is worth more per emblem and then buy them.
For example, on TN the primary colored gems are worth between 185 and 250g each, while the good secondary gems (ametrine and dreadstone) are worth 150-175g a pop. This means that buying ametrines and dreadstones will yield the most profit. Each heroic is worth ~7 emblems (on average) so this means that you'll be able to get 300g every 3 heroics, which having a tank (and thus instant queue) should only take about an hour.
300g an hour x say 2 hours of play a day = 600g
12 days @ 600g a day = 7,200g
edit:
This is more or less how I make my money, with some changes. I have a transmute spec alchemist making king's ambers out of mats mad by my jewelcrafter's icy prism. I also use a healer instead of a tank as I don't have one. Lastly, I burn my 2 alts frost badges on primordial saronite every 12 days. This nets me roughly 1,000-1,200g a day (although it doesn't end up that way every day due to fractional primordial saronites and such :P).
I'll concede that it's not the fastest or most profitable, but it's more or less sure-fire, and it's dead simple :P

Fox, it is 5-6 emblems per heroic, not 7 :P
Most instance have 3-4 boss, few have 5.
And what you do, even if not the fastest/profitable, it is the king of farming ways. It grant more than gathering and dailies.

It's an average...
8 emblems: Occulus
7 emblems: CoT:CoS, Nexus, Gun'Drak, Old Kingdom
6 emblems: Drak'Tharon Keep, Utgarde Pinnacle, Halls of Lightning, Halls of Stone
5 emblems: Violet Hold, Utgarde Keep, Azjol Nerub, Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection
4 emblems: Forge of Souls
8 + 7x4 + 6x4 + 5x5 + 4 = 89 emblems / 15 dungeons = 5.9333~ emblems per dungeon, so you're technically correct. I had based my original average excluding the icc heroics (which put the number around 6.25). Either way you'll have to run 4 the first day, and then the next two days will only need 3, so it doesn't effect the amount of work that much.

^ It's a good idea. One I've been thinking of trying myself. However, I doubt you could get away with charging a healer. Their queues are pretty short as it is. Still, 90g is good. Also, you need to be a good tank. If I paid a tank even 10g for a quick queue, I also expect a quick run. No you don't have to single pull the whole instance, but if you have to keep stopping or we wipe because you fail, I would certianly not hire you again and probably mention it in Trade if I saw you advertising.

farming is the worst way to make money
Really? Titanium ore sells pretty well. So do eternals and fish feasts. And uncut gems.
Probably my primary source for making money these days is farming.
boring as **** too
After a hard days work dailies and farming is about as much as I have energy for.
