uhh except you did it wrong, a mooncloth tailor (which you have to be to wear the set) gains two cloth per cooldown. so it is only 19*96 hours half the time. but in reality, if you are smart in your crafting you can utulize that. because crafting mooncloth will give you 10 skill levels, so as long as you are not trying to powerlevel tailor (ie your 70 and cahnged professions) you can spend your time while leveling to making mooncloth and by the time you are getting close to 70 you should be 375 tailoring and have all the mooncloth you need.  Such as I, who is lvl 60, half way to 61 and made my first mooncloth synth after mastery. so that means I have less than 2 months to level to 70 and it works perfectly for my schedule.  If it is too slow for you then, um duh pay someone else for their cooldown?

This is what it takes to get epics, that is why they are epic. get over it and move on.
