I think it's an insignificant amount. I'll probably spend more on enchanting mats to put +4 stats on my t3 BP than I will on the materials to obtain the BP itself. Yes, it's a couple months' worth of timers. Unless you use some odd sort of DKP that gears up one person at a time at the expense of everyone else, though, I'd say it'll be ~4 months before people are completing full sets, at the earliest. That's PLENTY of time to get the necessary materials together. And you'll see supply of those mats start to go up too, bringing the prices down. Already everyone is converting their alts to be mooncloth mules or leatherworkers. It's really not a big deal.
You spent perhaps 900g on an epic mount that lets you move faster. Spending 800g on mats for a full t3 set seems paltry by comparison. A single BoE epic often sells for more than that. But instead of vanishing into the ether, the money is going to craftmen and promoting a trade economy.
I don't mind it at all, and I'm a leatherworker who let about 8 months' worth of deeprock salt timers go to waste because the damn things seemed useless. :(
