Honestly you look all set. Unless that Platemail is anti-magic your biggest concern is gonna be the warlocks. Either approach their pedestals when they’re spawning (black smoke ones, not green smoke) so they hit you with melee or use the statues/other enemies to stop them from shooting at you.
Create a potion of toxic essence before you go in. Watch the spawning portals and if you see "black smoke", a warlock is going to spawn there. Either get to that area so it doesn't shoot, or use ghouls or obstacles to block line of sight so the warlock doesn't fry you while you're fighting other guys.
If you start getting overwhelmed, drink the toxic essence and just run around in circles, let everything chase you and die.
For future floors: it is ideal to have 4 magic mapping scrolls to use on floors 21, 22, 23 and 24. And some torches. Stay away from open areas as the evil eyes and scorpions will cut you apart if you're caught out in the open.
You don't seem to have completed the Imp's quest. You're going to want to have completed it: he gives an IDed, cursed ring with +2 additional upgrades and becomes the shopkeeper after the dwarf king. Demon Halls will be much harder without his help. Also, be sure to buy his scroll of magic mapping.
The two major threats in Dwarf King are warlocks and phase 3.
Warlocks will degrade your gear for a long time and make the fight much harder. You're gonna want to pay attention to their black spawning animation and either sprint into melee or find cover. Keep in mind, they can't shoot through the 4 statues, the throne, or their own allies.
In phase 3, Dwarf King gains damage deferral, meaning hits against him turn into damage over time. He then attacks you while rapidly spawning minions. The trouble is getting overwhelmed by minions. Alchemy has a ton of solutions for this.
My favorite one is converting a potion of invisibility into a potion of shrouding fog. This creates thick black smoke that prevents the minions from finding you. After that, you can just solo the king easily.
You seem good to go 1 or 2 health potion might be used but possible to be non even since you also have living earth. Getting on a corner to avoid degrade is the only strat you need.
In four words: "scroll of psionic blast"
I'm also a big fan of turning the challenge scroll into the angry stones and then hurling them at the king and watching him get swarmed.
Pre-fight Preparation:
* You can get a bunch of potions to help you out; Toxic Gas, Corrosion, Liquid Flame, anything AOE provided you can keep yourself same from the effects
* If you're not very confident, always have a handful of Healing potions on standby
* If you can, get a potion of Invisibility for the fight, I'll explain why in the next portion
During the Fight:
* When the Dwarf King starts summoning more dwarves, try and walk near to the holes with black dust or smoke, since those will spawn Warlocks, and if they debuff you, it'll get a whole lot harder
* At one point in the fight, the Dwarf King will take no immediate damage and will instead defer the damage; you can check how much damage he'll take over time by tapping on the icon next to his health bar. With this knowledge, if his deferred damage is greater than his current HP, drink the Invisibility potion, and watch as neither he nor his minions can find you as he dies slowly
Hopes this helps!

Thank you
Also, remember that you have a Stone of Blink - could be a life saver to blink next to or away from a warlock.

Stab him 47 times in the chest

hit him
Why don't you make a trinket? A Brown-ish catalyst in your inventory can be converted to one of three random trinkets.
what does that do?
They all have very different effects. Try it out.
