I'm poor. Like, 70 gold to my name. I used to have 2k, which was fine for me, I really don't need more than that for anything, considering I don't do pve. Then I tried levelling my mining and engineering.
I looked in the auction house, saw that fel iron was very expensive: 200g a stack. I figured "Well, I got time to kill. I'm not reall doing anything else while waiting in the BG queue, I'll go farm it myself, and level my mining in the process!"
Little did I know, that 45 minutes later, I would still be looking for fel iron. I travelled teh mining path of hellfire peninsula for 45 minutes, and didn't find a single node. Not one. I figured "Well, I haven't seen anyone farming around here, but mayb eI just haven't been paying attention, I'll try again later."
I've now tried farming for fel iron without success 7 times. For a total of 5 hours work, I have 4 fel iron ores to show for my work.
What the hell happened? I even tried at 4 in the morning. Twice. And got two nodes. Any advice? I've bankrupted myself trying to level my mining and engineering, and I've only gotten to about 330 with both.
I'm not looking for advice on how to make money, just on how to get past the BC stage of mining and engineering easily. I'm going to be questing in all the cata zones for lack of anything better to do, so I want to be able to mine while I quest, and considering I pvp almost exculsively, I'd like max engineering.

Have you tried the route shown
here
?
My miner isn't high enough yet, so I can't track the nodes, but just running around questing on a different character I've seen a few dozen.
Also, an addon like
Gatherer
is handy for keeping track of where you do find nodes.
There's even a
Wowhead database file
for Gatherer so you can import all the nodes.

I followed that exact path, yes. And I've actually had a guildie help me, to see if there was someone else farming that I hadn't seen, and there wasn't.
The nodes just...Don't appear.
I've put in a ticket.

Apparently it's a known issue. They are "diligently working on a solution."

fel iron is not as abundant but still better than hellfire.
