I haven't gotten so far as to determining what every crafted item is worth using for every build, and for pvm and pvp. I guess that is a humongous job.
For my part, i start crafting as soon as i find the items to, and early on also, you can actually craft (and gamble) quite good rings and amulets for early use if you run through the game on your own. Good resistances, life bonuses and such. And they're nice to give to newbs too if they become redundant.
