TheWoWDBVery hard to solo due to the following reasons
1. He hits hard, about 1600 or more on 20K armor
2. He has the dancing rune weapon ability
3.The mobs around him respawn very fast. Respawn timer is about 1min or so, making kiting him extremely difficult.As a quest geared blood death knight, I died twice trying to solo him. The first time was due to lack of preparation and the second time due to adds. I was able to beat him the third time. And here is what I did.
1.Got the buff items from the Bone Witch.
2.Killed a few mobs around to make sure that I had 100 RP, a ghoul and horn of winter buff.
3. Used Dancing rune weapon at the beginning of the fight.
4.When he summoned his dancing rune weapon, I used frost fortitude, I didn't have Lichborne anyway.
5.I moved to a place a little southwest of the furnace thing on the ground to avoid adds.PS: pardon my poor English please...

I love it when people who speak English better than native speakers apologize for their English. Makes me feel like a jerk for not speaking another language so well.
These rider quests are strange, they are phased when you enter the area the mobs are in. People not on the questline will not be able to help you, heal you, or hit the mob. Very irritating if you can't find a party on the same quest.

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. When you join battle with him, spread out from your companions and keep your distance as much as you reasonably can. He will not hesitate to steal your life force for himself, so you will need to hinder his ability to do so as much as possible. You have my confidence. See to it that he dies.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rider of Frost
Sapph... Sapph's a death knight like no other. She'll shower you with sweet words and you'll swear that she has no evil within her heart, and then she'll run you through without even breaking her smile. I have no fear that you'll be able to best Sapph, but do not grow overconfident.
After this quest

- The Fate of Bloodbane
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.
