a) as per (b) and (c) and current drop rate it is hardly a profit
b) true
c) true
However.
If you make wrecks a PvP only thing (as in, they drop from player ships only) rig prices will make HAC prices look fine and dandy. 
My thoughts on the whole thing?
Up until now CCP's mini-professions were successful and did not mess with other aspects of gameplay. They were optional. If you wanted to do them [mini-professions] you could do it - more power (and ISK) to you.
Salvaging in it's current state messes with other aspects (missions, NPCing) way too much. That much, I think, is obvious. It only brings frustration to the table.
No doubt Devs have a plan. We'll see how it works out.
My suggestion?
Have wracks and cans both. Loot drops in cans, wracks are salvageable. Everyone's happy. Vultures salvage wracks, looters loot cans, someone does both.
No, this does not generate more lag (certainly not more then the current situation) and most likely won't touch your FPS.
Everyone's happy.

Your idea is perfect. I would re-activate my accounts if they implemented this. The current state of wrecks is just a mind numbing headache and is not worth it to pay for a **** implementation.
Oh yes I can blow up the wrecks when I find they are "empty". I would rather not even have to look. Cans were much more efficent and even if it was trash loot at least the can signified loot. Wreck signify having to check them out wasting tons of time and most of them are empty.
Don't get me wrong the "mini-profession" is a great idea it is has just made this game no longer enjoyable for me. Yeah sure you players that have been on 3+ years that don't have to grind missions any more don't have to deal with it but a large majority of us newer players do.
