I rarely use gems and have managed to breed every limited dragon that has been released (the first was the Bone Dragon last October). What I do is save my gems as much as possible. If a breeding time is only a couple hours, I sometimes choose to speed it up. But I never spend more than 6 gems to speed up a breeding session, and rarely ever use gems more than once a day. Spend conservatively and breed your dragons at varying times throughout the day/night. If your EBI/BC will finish while you are busy or asleep, consider using just a few gems to speed it up so valuable breeding time is not wasted.

If there are just a couple of days left to breed a limited, then you should still have gems available to give it a few more attempts. ;)
