but since i'm an enchanter , disenchanting and selling the mats would be stupid
Uhh... yeah, my mage is a an enchanter/tailor... and I make butt-loads of money disenchanting stuff and selling mats on AH. I don't see how that's stupid...
Also, look for cheap greens in AH... and then, DE them... and resell the mats... that's how I do it.

Well... Let's take a look at the argent tournament shall we?
2 Goblin daily quests: 13g each. 26g a day.
4 valiant daily quests: 13g each. 52g a day.
4 champion daily quests: 23g each (13g + 10 money bag). 92g a day.
total: 170g a day for roughly 45minutes worth of work.
Now let's go ahead and assume you average 20g a day in expenses (potions, repairs, flights, etc.) This leaves you with 150g a day income from those 10 dailies ALONE. Doing JUST those dailies, you could expect to see the 5k gold you need in around a month or so.
That's a very minimalistic example. If you were doing your full 25 dailies a day, and assuming those are all 13g dailies, you'd be looking at ~300g a day income (after expenses) which would drop your time to obtain 5k gold down to 15 days. Even better would be if you're also selling the loot you pick up while doing these dailies, or you get lucky on the fishing dailies a couple times (lots of high-value vendor trash there). That's JUST dailies.
You could take that gold, invest it in the AH, and then exponentially increase your wealth like that, or run instances (if you don't wipe constantly, heroics work out to be a good chunk of gold).
The question isn't how you get the gold, it's how you prevent yourself from spending it once you've made it.

Why'd you waste money on dual spec if you wanted epic flying so bad? Bad money management I would imagine is your problem more than anything. And why is it stupid to sell enchanting mats? What do you want more right now: to level enchanting, or make money for an epic flyer?
Money in this game is very easy to come by, if you find yourself unable to get money, the problem is YOU, and you need to work out why you can't save any money.

I had got mine epic flyer from 3 things: Doing dailies that got me roughly 120g each day (The island back in the day), quests from Northrend while leveling (just consider that more dailies) and alot of patience. Don't go farming out like crazy for a mount only to be burnt and hate the game, just make roughly 100-150g a day and do whatever. Takes time.

ty for the suggestions. except for this guy above me who spazzes out but i have no idea why
i asked for suggestions, not criticsm.
You asked for suggestions. Of course you can't un-buy dual spec, but I was trying to get to see how you wasted money on dual-spec, something which you definitely don't need, as people got along fine without it for four years. I'm trying to help you see how good money management skills will lead to you having lots of money.
For example, if you did have said skills before, you wouldn't even be here asking how to make money.
So, what I would suggest is to take a look at how you spend your money, and if you really need what you spend it on.
I'm not here to coddle you, I'm here to help you see with new eyes and learn for yourself, which is always much more rewarding and beneficial in the end.
