I found elites wondering near the portal could run over or cast at you, if mobs managed to run from you.

If you would like a safer, surer way to go, then land at 7,40. That's right on the edge of the cliff, so near enough is fine.

There are several groups of mobs in the area, each of which can be pulled without mass pulling. The best part is that the elites don't wonder into the area so, if you are fragile, you won't have to worry.
