Soloed the whole chain as an 80 Ret Paladin.
He's under Icecrown Citadel; the entrance to the area he's in is east of the big ramp / stairs leading up to the Citadel. He's near a rather large pit.
With the 15% run speed buff from the witch or talents, you can easily kite him around the pit and hit him with any attack with 8+ yard range. Make a big circle around the pit, hiting him with any range attacks you have. Just make sure to do it more than once every 20 seconds, or he'll reset.
For Paladins, I used Judge, Divine Storm and Exorcism. You have to run towards him for just a split second to hit him with Divine Storm. Under 20% I just used Hammer.

The Icecrown is done! Leave your comments/sugestions at my comment in Icecrown zone. Thanks everyone who helped me to make it via comments on wowhead and in-game pre-quest tracking.
You can buy +15% run speed enchant from the bone witch and solo this quest with any class that has ranged nuke. It takes a while, but it's still doable.

What to do
Description
With the riders of the Host of Suffering dead, now is the time to put an end to their true leader: Orbaz Bloodbane. Mograine caught up with me while you were off and told me that he found where Orbaz is hiding. Under Icecrown Citadel itself, there is an immense pit - you will find Orbaz just outside its lip. Some of the Ebon Blade's strongest agents have already been dispatched - gather aid and join the fight. It is time for Bloodbane to die.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rider of Blood
Baelok is one of the few vrykul that I've ever seen rise through the ranks, and that was mostly accomplished through sheer brutality. If your competition ends up dead, there's far less to compete against.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eliminate the Competition
Mrrfrmrfrrmrrr... <The Leaper clears his throat.> Sorry about that. It can sometimes be hard to understand what I'm saying. You know how it is. I wanted to make sure that if you find yourself at the Savage Ledge, over the mountains to the west, that you make sure to eliminate the competition there.
