  A lot of guilds have most of, if not all the crafting stations available to use in their guild halls. I would ask around in chat about it.

  Recently i got my first Master Blacksmithing Writ, so i'm not very familiar with how it works, but the set required for it (Varen's Legacy) can only be found on the Gold Coast, which can only be accessed through the Dark Brotherhood DLC, which i don't have.
  Is this something common, and is there a solution other than just buying the DLC?

  
  look out in zone chat for a guild recruiting message with "we have all crafting stations". If you're PC EU there's the guild "Inside Trade"... though they do kick low sellers quite ruthlessly.
  
  If you're part of the Glorious PC Master Race (I'm being funny, not an eliteist, chill) there's the "Go Home" addon that you can use to hotkey to any home owned by any player that allows visitors. Just ask your friends, guilds and in zone chat for a teleport to a house with all stations, find out who it belongs to, and set one of your 10 hotkey-able homes to get you there any time. I've been using this one guy's place and I didn't meet him til a while after I'd been using his place.
  
  Now about how the Master Writs work: they are extremely specific:
  
  *specific item
  *specific style
  *specific quality
  *specific set
  *specific trait
  
  Each set requires that you know a specific number of traits for each item you wish to craft.
  Say you need to do, for example, a Legendary, Nirnhoned, Ebony, Shalidor's Curse Sword. You need:
  
  *enough ruby ash wood for a cp150 bow (you never have to craft CP160 for a writ)
  *Ebony Swords motif page learned (can buy from Mastercraft Mediator with writ vouchers)
  *Ebony style material or mimic stone
  *Potent Nirncrux
  *to have reserached Nirnhoned trait on swords
  *to have researched 8 traits on swords to craft Shalodor's Curse sword (which is an 8 trait set - some sets are as low as 2 traits)
  *8 tempering alloy (plus the other tempers) - so do your daily crafting writs, refine materials, and have all your crafting perks
  
  (basically a writ like that would probably pay you around 100 vouchers)
  
  Little tip: I have a paper list of all the motif pages my crafter knows. I tick them off as I get them. If you go to a guild store and set the search to all items - gold items only, you can buy master writs. Don't spend more then 500g/voucher reward.
  
  There's also Tamriel Trade Centre. Pick up your phone and google it. Say you get a master writ for a style you don't know. It pays 20 vouchers. Check TTC for the cheapest listing for the motif page. Is it more than 10k? (500g/voucher reward).
  If no: buy the page. If yes: consider selling the writ for 10k at a guild store... if you're in a trading guild. Use that money to buy a writ you can do. Never start a master writ til you know you can do it. Sell writs that cost more to make than 500g/voucher reward. Do you need to buy a Potent Nirncrux? 2x Perfect Roe? A 20k recipe? Consider all these variable before you start a master writ.

  Say NO to Crown Crates. Crown Crates are Loot Boxes. Loot Boxes are gambling. Zenimax makes enough money off us.
  ESO+ is part of the "Games as a service" trend. A trend that needs to die. Subscribe only when you need Crowns for DLC.
  Say no to "radiant" junk quests replacing proper side content and the dumbing down of our favorite franchises.
  PCMR EU.
