You're left with other sources of income such as tanking for compensation, playing the AH-tycoon or farming new AVs with herbing and mining which, provided you're equipped with all speed bonuses, can net you with a fair amount of black lotuses and other valuable herbs. Provided you get some recipes there is always crafting/enchanting as well.
I know a guildie of mine who was pretty geared solo farmed DM:E lashers as arms with a 2h and mostly t1 tanking gear, he did manage to hit instance reset cap but it was very slow compared with a mage or priest. He needed about 50 seconds of eating between every pull and when jumping down from the ledge.
If you got good dps gear (and dps specd) and can get a healer friend you can 2 man DM:E for a respectable amount of gold per hour. Your group of two will need enchanting and mining. Either just do bosses or some kind of combination of bosses and lashers.
As a prot warrior, I throw on 2 1hs or a 2h and can solo the lasher packs (will need to bring mage food to eat after each pack). You can't quite make what mages make since it takes a bit longer, but you can get close.
If you have a friend, you 2man farm 5 lasher packs with a healer (priest is best, but pally or druid can do it, so can a shadowpriest, or you can do it as fury). If you get efficient at it, you can start in the backdoor, clear pack upstairs, jump, clear 4 packs below, then 2man the boss and the imp pack afterwards. There are 3 places books can spawn, and then 2 rich thorium veins at end. Best to have an enchanter and miner in group. Runs can take ~10-15min, so you won't hit instance cap - or if you do, it doesn't take long.
Bring the boss to the back of the room (kite him between the two aoe packs) and LoS him behind a pillar. No adds will spawn.
Can easily make 50g/hr
