It's 10 bosses, I think, if you have enough people with quintessences, and it takes a couple of hours to clear, but you should still get more gold per hour than 2 or 3 manning Azuregos or the world Dragons, even if people decide they want to keep all the tier ones for themselves.

You also have an option to shard all the epics and put them up on the AH, or even have an enchanter convert them into SPS, and, on my realm at least, there's still people buying Fire or Lava cores now and then (probably for the +hit scope, that's the only reason I could think of). As well, Ragnaros drops a few BOE blues most of the times, and some of them still sell.

It's not market breaking, you'll not get rich over night, but it's fun, and most importantly, it's a change of scenery, for those who are bored with grinding.
Hrmmmm MC bosses are ~40g each iirc. 4g per person doesn't really seem worth it, and at best you'd be getting 1 LPS per boss, maybe making it 7g per person. Let's say you could do Azuregos and Ony with 3 people in an hour, including travel time. You're looking at around 300-400g in cash, an 18 slotter, 3 epics each (2 LPS total), and a handful of BoE blues that could be converted into LBS or AH'd (some of the better ones still go for up to 100g). It wouldn't be unreasonable for each person to walk away with 200-250g from an hour's work, once the AH'ing had been done. Even at the very minimum, I think you'd get about 150g each. To compete with that in MC, you'd need to clear the entire place in around 30 minutes (or probably a bit longer, I think Rag drops a lot more cash).

From what I've heard, BWL is quite profitable though. Bosses there drop ~100g each, but the thought of even looking at the suppression room again means they could drop 10,000g each and I still wouldn't go in there.
