Phase 1: Multicraft

5 points into Thoughtful Throughput. Pick Outrageous Output.
30 points into Outrageous Output for maximum Multicraft.

Phase 2: Resourcefulness

Put 30 points into Skilled Savings.

Phase 2: Get more +Skill

Put 25 points into your color sub-spec to unlock all three gem recipes.
30 points into Glamorous Gems root.
15 points into your chosen gem.

Phase 3: Finishing your build

Now if you picked Resourcefulness first, you can start putting points into your gem sub-spec to unlock the Flawless recipes and increase your Skill. If you went for Gold quality first, you can start putting points into Thoughtful Throughput for more crafting stats. Basically just complete both builds in the previous phase.

Gemcutting

This build is for crafting gems to sell on the Auction House. Gems sell well because every socketed piece of gear needs them, so there is always demand.

5 points into Thoughtful Throughput. Pick Outrageous Output.

30 points into Outrageous Output for maximum Multicraft.

Pick Your First Color

Pick a gem color to specialize in first. You can probably make gold with all of them. If you are not sure what to pick, check class BiS guides to see which stat combos are most popular across specs, then start with the color that covers the most demand.

Resourcefulness First

You get Resourcefulness early so you save more materials. You won't hit Gold quality right away, but your Silver quality crafts will cost less to make.

Gold Quality First

You rush Skill to reach Gold quality without needing Concentration (once your profession skill is at 100). You won't have crafting stats early on, but you can craft Gold gems without spending Concentration.

10 points into Thoughtful Throughput.

Put 30 points into Skilled Savings.

Put 25 points into your color sub-spec to unlock all three gem recipes.

30 points into Glamorous Gems root.

15 points into your chosen gem.

What's next?

Start working on a second gem color to expand your market. All gems work the same way, just replicate the steps you took for your first color in the second one.
