Reports of a powerful zombie at the death gate have reached my ears, <class>.

Soloed as a lvl 80 unholy Death Knight.

Just tank him with bone shield and icebound fortitude on until your hp goes too low.
Then kite him around one of the pillars in his room with chains of ice, keep icy touch on him and let your ghoul bring him down.

His acid spit won't hit you if he is not in line of sight (hence the pillars).

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Basic ChemistryIcecrown · Level 25-30

    <Thassarian 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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sneak PreviewIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Progress is being made. We have a promising array of tactics that should gain us control of the death gate. There will doubtlessly be many casualties, but in the end, we should be able to prevail - barring any interference from those Horde you insist on contending with...
