Entrance to the Mord'rethar vault is at 63, 62. Coprous has ~107k hp, can be snared and stunned. He melees fairly hard and has an acid spray that hits multiple times for a decent amount of damage (not just in melee range, this seems to be a change from beta). Ranged classes can solo him with caution, melee types will probably want to bring a healer.

Since the pre-patch this thing is impossible to solo, even as a Blood DK. He hits for 1k to 1.3k and his acid spray does 1k dmg per tick.

I'm pretty sure you have to complete this and the cauldron to finish the achieve for Icecrown, so the workaround I found is to turn off Chromie time and come back and one shot it. Though that requires you to be over level 30. It's $%^& but it's the only way to do it solo without being max level. Though make sure to turn Chromie Time back on before you turn the quests in so you get full xp.

Description

Reports of a powerful zombie at the death gate have reached my ears, {class}. We cannot allow a potential threat such as this to go unchallenged. Any information you are able to glean from engaging it will be better than what we know now. Go to the western chamber of the gate and find this creature. Fight him, and find a weakness we might exploit.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Against the GiantsIcecrown · Level 25-30

    While it's going to be crucial to defeat the Scourge on the ground, we mustn't neglect the gate itself. The flesh giants on the ramparts are capable of hurling massive boulders and chunks of ice, inflicting devastating damage to enemy infantry below. Muster a force and defeat these giants.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Basic ChemistryIcecrown · Level 25-30

    <Koltira takes the pustulant spines and drains their fluid into a flask.> A little-known quality of the flesh giants... Their spinal fluid interacts with the plague in a very interesting way, turning it into a corrosive acid.
