It seems that many players are confused by the Transmogrification in Patch 4.3, but don't worried, the community magager of official forum, Kaivax, had showed us the rules about Transmogrification before, which will guide you to solve your Transmogrification problems.
Kaivax claimed that:" This is a set of rules that we expect to change over time, and is not intended to be 100% comprehensive, but we hope that it can be referenced to answer most questions that players currently have about what they can and cannot expect to be able to do with Transmogrification.
Check out the rules list below.

* Only uncommon (green), rare (blue) or epic (purple) items may be transmogrified. (exceptions: a select few of these items will be prevented from being used to transmogrify if they are inappropriate)
* Items must share the same armor type (examples: plate for plate, cloth for cloth)
* Weapons must be the same weapon type (exceptions: Guns, Crossbows, or Bows)
* Guns, Crossbows, and Bows can be used to transmogrify Guns, Crossbows, or Bows.
* Main hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Main hand weapons.
* Off-hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Off-hand weapons.
