TheWoWDBIf you're soloing this quest and there are no other Death Knights around to help, you can pull Patchwerk next to the teleporter. There are 4 respawning portal guards that can take turns tanking him while you do damage. You don't have to worry much about adds as well.
Even though you have the super damage and health buff, it's possible that Patchwerk can still get some lucky string of crits on you and kill you but the with guards, he'll constantly switch targets so you should be safe.

Description
The Hall of Command has been secured, but the Lich King has left us a little present in the Heart of Acherus. The stitched terror, Patchwerk, and a horde of abominations have taken over the second floor. Use the teleporter to get to the second floor and destroy the Scourge forces that remain. Do not engage Patchwerk alone! You must fight the monstrosity with other death knights of Acherus! Go, {name}. You have my strength to carry you!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Taking Back Acherus
The haze has been lifted. I can see as clearly now as the day that I plunged the Ashbringer into my own heart to free my father's cursed soul: my last memory as a free man. We must take back Acherus from the Scourge if our order is to survive in this new world.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Where Kings Walk
You are now, and forever will be, a Knight of the Ebon Blade, <name>, but know this: you were once a hero of the Alliance. <Darion stares at you.> This order must establish allies for itself if it is to survive. You must represent the Knights of the Ebon Blade to the Alliance.
