At one time the mobs at the front were not linked, but now they all come if you aggro any of them. Anyway you try, you will end up with 4-5 mobs on you.
The flip side of this (Master of the Lash) is that you can pull all the mobs in front of him away with a ranged weapon to fight on the stairs, leaving him free. Still, 5 equal level mobs is going to be a challenge to anyone solo, and given that the Slaughterer is a signature with healing ability and a disarm (meaning a Guardian, the only class with a shot of taking out all 5 mobs first, is going to struggle) it's really hard to see the logic behind this being a solo quest.
