TheWoWDBDon't do like me now as flying is available and fly straight into the necropolis, ignoring Twigin. Inside the necropolis you will get stuck in a phased version with nothing to do - and no way to get out of unless you use your Heartstone!

I had this quest in my quest log and didn't seem to have a way up to the necropolis.
It's safe to abandon the quest, and then you can re pick it up. (Pin will drop on the map when you abandon)
When you get to the location of the pin, there will be an elite there.
Run through it (unless you want to fight it) and pick up the quest, and immediately to the right will be a guy to click on to take you up. (even if you have agro)
Best of luck Necrolord!
Actually, Twiggin IS optional. The thing is that you don't go INSIDE the necropolis but rather on top of it.

Description
At last, our target is within reach. The necropolis rests above us, moored to this platform by a necrotic restraining bolt. Twigin can fly you to the apex of the necropolis. It will be ours to command once you insert this keystone. We will prepare for our departure. Rejoin us when you are done. Victory will soon be ours.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crush 'Em All
The mooring platform will be our best launching point to access the necropolis above. But one more fight remains before us. Enforcer Borgulla oversees all of the work efforts that take place here. We'll need to eliminate her if we are to proceed unhindered. She is a formidable foe.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- This Way Out
We are fully prepared to launch the necropolis. We must hurry before Margrave Gharmal tries to interfere. Speak with Vyn when you are prepared, but we mustn't waste time. We will cast our shadow upon all of Maldraxxus.
