It helps to be a decent level before going to Solstheim, such as 25 or above. Most of the enemies are pretty badass. Take a few healing potions with you if you don't have healing spells, and give some to your follower if applicable. Resist fire/frost/shock enchantments on armor help a bunch or potions if you don't enchant.
You will absolutely be enthralled (no pun intended!) with this DLC.
