In the past four days, i've spent nearly all my time in game attempting to discover some of these magical alchemy forumas that can only be learned by way of the random discovery system. I've spent hours upon hours herbing. I've spent hundreds of gold on the AH, and on imbued vials. I've taken dozens of handouts from my guild. 775 potions crafted in the last four days, and no discoveries.

This is beyond absurd.

Studying alchemy with a trainer or by reading a scroll is a guaranteed way to learn a new recipe. Discovering new potion recipes however, takes patience, effort, luck, and gold certainly doesn't hurt either. It's better to appreciate the good fortune that comes your way than to resent the fortune you never see.

On a long enough time line, good things happen to everyone. Hang in there, and don't forget to enjoy yourself...
