The jump in method. Used to be just hit DA and jump in, land on the other side unharmed. They put DA in the song window now though, so you need to jump in from the Paineel side, and cast DA after you zone while falling.
I've not been there in a while, so I can't confirm if Ughbash is correct that you just don't die anymore? That seems odd if true, there was still a hell of a fall on the other side when i was soloing there.
As far as swarming killing goes, exactly as it sounds. Gather up a large amount of mobs, find a solid corner and let them kill themselves on your slay. Survival ranges, and everything is dependent on gear, but come ready to heal yourself is all I can really suggest. Carry HoT potions. Cast the spell version on yourself as you go to pull. Have a fast cast heal up and ready. Get a rune weapon if you don't have one already. On a big pull, don't be afraid to pop defensive/deflection if you need to. Especially with deflection, you'd be amazed at how much you can thin down targets in about 20 seconds.
I used to swarm it in sections. Pick up everything outside the castle first, then move inside and take the first floor. Then move up the stairs and take 2 of the room up there, finish up top and move back down with respawns starting again outside the castle. That was more consistent for me, 4 semi-large trains of like 10-12 mobs each.
