I tested this on beta trying to figure out what is the most basic result when performing thaumaturgy on each material.
For this test I used 1000 of rank 2 of each mat (except Storm Dust and Weavercloth which I used rank 3) and my profession was 50/100 with no tool or accessory equipped, no profession knowledge used and no concentration used.
I will post the results of detailed test bellow for curious minds but first let's sum up the relevant info.

Thaumaturgy of basic mats:
There is 3 different Transmutagens and each drops from a specific group of mats.

- Ominous Transmutagen - Mycobloom, Bismuth, Weavercloth, Storm Dust
- Mercurial Transmutagen - Luredrop, Orbinid, Aqirite, Gloom Chitin
- Volatile Transmutagen - Blessing Blossom, Arathor's Spear, Ironclaw Ore, Stormcharged Leather

Thaumaturgy of Transmutagens:
- Thaumaturgy of Ominous Transmutagen yields materials from Mercurial group (Mercurial Transmutagen, Luredrop, Orbinid, Aqirite, Gloom Chitin)
- Thaumaturgy of Mercurial Transmutagen yields materials from Volatile group (Volatile Transmutagen, Blessing Blossom, Arathor's Spear, Ironclaw Ore, Stormcharged Leather)
- Thaumaturgy of Volatile Transmutagen yields materials from Ominous group (Ominous Transmutagen, Mycobloom, Bismuth, Weavercloth, Storm Dust)

Each transmutation yielded 1-2 of corresponding Transmutagen and 8-12 total of other mats from the group at rank 1 quality. Except Weavercloth... It might be beta bug or might be that cloth is considered a weak material that can't yield anything useful when transmuted - we shell find out!
Now this is the bare minimum with nothing leveled, when I capped my profession, specialization and tools I started getting more mats, better quality, some gemstones and other useful alchemy mats...
The important thing to notice on capped profession and spec - it will most likely always be optimal to use rank 2 mats for Thaumaturgy since rank 2 mats yield rank 2 and rank 3 mats only yield rank 3 if concentration is used.

Does someone know a macro for casting Thaumaturgy with consuming a specific Item? Got many alts and this would save a lot of time.

If you're using "Keep Transmuting" for multiple large stacks, and it seems to stop casting after one full cast, you probably have a stack that is <20 items. Transferring the smaller stack into the larger stack will let you to "Keep Transmuting" again

If you only just started doing Alchemy and do not have the Philosopher's Stone required to do Thaumaturgy yet, the easiest and cheapest one to get is the following:

Get 3 Golden Lotus (Cheap on AH), train Pandaren Alchemy (e.g. in Klaxxi'vess) and learn the Zen Alchemist Stone recipe. Craft that one.
