The "no multiclassing" thing is because a) he wants to keep it as simple as possible, since he's used to playing the party beatstick, and b) he really wants that capstone.
Unless you're actually known for playing to 20, it'll probably hurt him in the long run, but ok, fair enough.

Libris Mortis is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for a DNecro, period. Tomb-Tainted Soul, Corpsecraft (and derivatives), etc, all great stuff.

My personal suggestion? I would go Dread Necromancer/Fighter/Eldritch Knight. Why? Well, it isn't optimal, but it IS damned amusing, since Dread Necromancers have some decent melee abilities, and when you start to spam Animate Dead with Destructive Retribution and get them into the fight alongside you, you can do some hilarious stuff. Now, given he is usually the beatstick, that's probably unlikely, but still, it's pretty fun.

As for a straight DNecro, well, uh, take Corpsecrafter and the rest of those feats, along with TTS at level 1, and use your spells wisely.
