In my opinion these orbs are way too expensive. They cost more then actual badge items do.
These orbs should be more like 4-5 badges. It's just not worth buying them.
Edit: In terms of costing more than actual badge items. It takes 6 to craft something with them. So 6x18.= 108 badges.
A belt isn't worth 108 badges. No matter how much Blizzard thinks so.
Consider this the WOTLK equivalent of Nether Vortexes (Vortices?)

I can confirm that the drop rate is NOT 100%. Downed Razorscale on heroic and didn't get one.
