The key to getting this is to get to 400 off Cobalt in Borean Tundra, then head north into the Basin and mine the Saronite. The mobs are level 75-77, but stick to the outside rim and you shouldn't run into too much. I could easily solo up to 3 of the cougar mobs as a warrior, but I could see other classes having some difficulty.
Got this achievement at about 7:20 this morning.

In sholozar basin, as a hunter, this was easy. When I aggroed a mob, I let my pet tank it, then I'd run away until my pet despawned. And I always had FD in my back pocket. I'm going for the one in Cataclysm.
I have this Feat, all I did was goto shadowmoon valley and level my mining off the netherspite ore to 420, then I went to Dragonblight and got the last 30points running around the edge of the zone. Literally took me 35mins to achieve Realm first, sad imo!
