Did this quest last evening, killing him allows you to loot the key, handing him the ring only rewards you the Visage of Menilesh and the Mnemosyne.

I made an edit about not imperiling him as well as not vulning him, even with a cast on strike (Royal Runed) I noticed Aetheria made no difference in his casting or aggro. He didn't seem to counterbuff the aetheria affects.

In the old write up it says Fire is his weakness, last evening the consensus was Bludgeon Rend was the damage of choice for missile weapons while Pierce was doing well for Mages using the Soulbound. I'll take my melee in there tomorrow and see how he does with pierce and fire.
