Coords confirmed. The DK you will summon will take all the aggro so this should be easy for you. Be careful when you summon the DK with your horn he/she will not aggro the elite asap so you have to be careful. I also would like to add that after killing the last elite you can click on the death gate that the DK summons and it will teleport you back to Valley of Echoes. I hope this comment was useful and helpful. later.
