Salvaged a monk set of FoW the other day, got 11 shards back (and 110~ vellum...) . Funny thing is the armor was made a loooooong time ago when shards weren't needed :3.
There's a thread over in the screenshot forum of people salvaging their armor if you wanna get some sort of idea what you'll get from your armor...

So yeah, think long and hard about it.
