These are my TSM groups. They are split so you can pick and choose which groups you want and so the import goes smoothly.

Just have TSM automatically craft it for you if its profitable or not. Your groups should be in a linear format. Professions Enchanting Legion Cloak/Ring/Neck Binding/Word Enchant etc etc (the mats should not be based on profession, but its own group similar to this same format).
Contributing
Due to the single-line nature of TSM strings, it is very hard to see the difference between 2 TSM strings. For this reason I will not be accepting any PRs to any .tsm files.
If I missing an item, you have an issue, I leave my mailing operation on the group, etc make an issue here.

How do you set up your groups for TSM?
When I started I categorized groups by, well, categories such as enchant mats, enchants, herbs, etc. However, with fluctuations in raw mat cost (obliterums anyone?) I switched to a system of craft cost. For example, instead of having a group for enchants, I just place the actual enchants in groups based on crafting cost and associated profits/losses that I am willing to accept. The downside was quite obvious, I would not be able to easily check undercut and cancel through TSM as easily. The upside, easier grouping since I participate in multiple markets and I don't have to make too many modifications in posting options.
What do you prefer? Do you do something different?
