I sometimes get obsessed with achievements and will put up with a bit of monotony, if it's to get the last achievement(s) to 1000/1000 of a game. But, I will write-off completing the achievements with a game if it has a few that sound really not-fun-at-all. Sometimes I'll start a massive collection achievement and it will end up being a lot of fun and keep me engaged with a game I enjoyed playing through - Assassin's Creed's achievements to kill every Templar and find every flag for example.

Ten assists in one match is a pretty tall order, which I think makes this medal a rare one to get. Also, If you have 10 headshots, you by definition have 10 kills so that's redundant. I think they should have made it something else like grenade sticks, assists, and headshots. But, then it would be even more difficult...
Hmm, I think another twist they could have used is "double-digits in three of the following stats: asssists, grenade sticks, headshots, wheelman, splatter." That would be in line with how basketball has 5 stats to use for a triple double and some are easier to notch double-digits (points, rebounds) than others (blocks, steals.)
And to answer my own question, no I don't have one yet. I was going for assists only in a few matches yesterday (daily challenge) and noticed I was at 9 and thought about this medal. But I ended with way fewer than 10 headshots so it was a moot point. I think part of the trick here is that to get a bunch of assists you need to do your best to avoid headshots, since you are looking to weaken an enemy but not actually finish him off. If you pull this off long enough to accumulate 10 assists, it's difficult to have enough time left in the match to get 10 headshots.
Edit: It just occurred to me that headshots, assists, and kills are used for this medal because they are 3 of the stats you can see in the overall carnage report after a match (in other words, not necessarily a medal count.) Assuming it is using those stats, that would mean being the driver of a falcon/warthog/etc would count towards the assists total since that does roll up to your total assists in the carnage report. If that is the case, this would be a considerably easier medal to obtain if you manage to have a good run in a falcon, then just focus on headshots...
