I'd say DoA could get you anywhere between 7,5 and 9e/hour.

Haven't done DoA in a while

Actually it's more like 66K/hour.

Quote:

it's about 10K guaranteed in 1/4 the time.

Ok, so you've failed math again... If the reward is 6,6 times as much (in your assumption, which I've overruled in the post above you, which you obviously didn't read) or 7-9 times as much (in my calculation, which is based on daily experience), but the time is 4 times as long (lol, wanna see you go 15min FoW on a regular basis, and I counted in forming time too, so, if you count time to form, you would have to be doing 5min FoWs for that, gg) then which one is more profitable?

If you would do, say FoW, we will assume you're in a very active FoW guild and can form teams in 5 minutes, which is pretty unrealistic, but still.. You do your FoW run in an average of 20minutes normally, should be less if it's an exp guild, but since I already took too little on the form time, we can assume 20min runs to keep the calcs leveled. So 25 minutes to form, start and finish at 10k/run, if you're tanking it's usually more like 15k/run average since you get more shards. You'll be earning 20-30k/hour doing this.

If you want money you either have to camp in HoH or do DoASC, there is no faster way...

Oh, and what's this supposed to mean? Still don't get what you meant by that...

Quote:

22K per hour was based on 15 gems in a set instead of 5.

Quote:

Still, FoWSC will get you shards directly

And how does DoASC not get you gems directly? Last time I checked, monsters drop em and chest drop em too, so that's kind of direct to me..

Don't do it for money unless you're willing to Speed Clear. PUG's in DoA have about a 50/50 success rate (you can probably tell a fail group from a not-fail group), and NEVER, I mean NEVER do DoA on Zaishen Bounty days with it (When most noobs are present).

-As a Warrior you can only do this in NM, (6 runs to each Armbrace, each run taking 1.5-2 hours to complete, depends on PUG skill and what not)

-As a Paragon/Monk/Rit/Mes in HM (the only accepted classes in HM PUGs generally, since rarely do PUG's form Trenchway; 3 runs to each armbrace, 1.5-2.5 hours on each run depending on PUG luck)

-Go Sin/Mes, find a Great Guild, and run the 30 mins speed clears ;D (unreasonable)

-Glaive/Frostway (frostway is nearly the same exact concept as Glaiveway, but defense buffed)
-Trenchway is almost never used with PUG's

-Well that obviously rules out one of the notes I listed above

(DoA HM)
-For the sake of experiencing the game, I say yes; might as well have fun with as much as you can.

Well, no fancy calculations in this post, but I tried to answer your points as best as I could. Hope it helps!
