The Pit Commander is apparently a rank within of the annihilan hierarchy; it is unknown whether it ranks above or below a normal pit lord. One can be seen commanding the Burning Legion force at the Outland side of the Dark Portal.
Strategy
Remember that when killing the Pit Commander, the guards from both factions will help too. It is advisable that the MT (main tank) of your party attacks it first before the guards, so you and your party can loot it and gain XP. NOTE: He doesn't appear to actually be lootable.
The Pit Commander summons level 70 elite Infernal Siegebreakers. You should let the guards kill them while your party focuses on the Pit Commander.
Note: If the Pit Commander steps on you it will deal a lot of damage and possibly even kill you. It is advisable to move away from him when he is about to die, because he will fall forwards and if you are there it is very likely that you will die.
The Pit Commander is actually rather easy to kill considering that all one needs to do is pull him towards the Alliance and Horde guards. A common technique is to use a warlock's imp to attack him, then as soon as the first fireball is shot, immediately pull your imp back towards you from the stairway and let the Pit Commander charge into the guards. However often the Commander will ignore the guards, go for you and kill you (run as fast as you can to the Dark Portal to avoid this). Apparently he attacks the guards if he steps into a AoE blizzard for example. Also it's possible that if there are some guards who are not occupied elsewhere, they will attack the Commander, otherwise they will ignore him.
He can cast a Rain of Fire arround him, which hits all melee Characters or NPC Guards for up to 60k fire damage. (Tested in 2.4.2)
