"Cornering the market" is not generally advisable, but if you know there will be a high demand, it may be worth the risk.

On Stormrage (US), at least, you'd get slaughtered trying this. There is way too much "dry powder" in the form of banked void crystals and would-be tailor-created shards to pull anything like this off at this stage in the game. Never mind the fact that the amount of season 4 gear being sold is going to be miniscule compared to what was bought for season 3 due to the ratings requirements.
