Spell frost windwalkon Neutral Extra Credit Bonus Stage 10 Achievement points
Collect 5 Golden Orbs in a single visit to the Vortex Pinnacle on Heroic difficulty.

Extra Credit Bonus Stage is a Cataclysm heroic dungeon achievement needed for the Inv helm plate pvpdeathknight c 01 [Glory of the Cataclysm Hero] achievement, rewarding the [Reins of the Volcanic Stone Drake].

Strategy

You CAN teleport in and out of the instance, "single visit" means that it must be the same instance ID. It is also entirely possible to accomplish this after the instance has been cleared, so as to not annoy the rest of the group.

Locations

The first two Golden Orbs are located off of the first bridge on the Nimbus Rise after the storm drake, guarded by the Howling Gales. Players can either chance it by interrupting the gales and jumping off the ledge normally, or by letting the gale blow them in the direction of the orb. Repeatedly right-click the orb as it gets in range. The left Spell holy mindsooth [Slipstream] near the instance line will take players close to that location.

After collecting the second, move on to the Temple of Assad, either by continuing past the second boss or taking the right Slipstream at the instance entrance. Run a third of the way up the first circular ramp with Zephyr] floating past to see the third orb hanging in the air to the northeast. The fourth orb is on the same circular ramp, almost at the to top off to the east. It will take getting hit with a Zephyr for the run speed buff in order to reach the fourth orb.

The fifth and final orb is on the circular ramp leading down to Assad's area, about halfway down hanging off to the east. Mages can cheat by casting Slow Fall on themselves, getting hit with a Zephyr and jumping off.
