How to kill a dragon in Skyrim?

Question

Anyone got any tips on how to beat down a Dragon solo? I've managed to get it down to 3/4 health, but keep running out of potions and getting owned.

I tend to whittle it down with bow from cover, then hit it with akimbo Lightning Strike which is awesome btw. Then poison and some sword.

I can't see a way to achieve this without having about 1000 points of stamina to run away from it when it does a swooping breath attack which seems to track you no matter what way you go.

Any advice please? This is for fighting them out in the open, "wild dragons" if you will.

Answer

I would say as Konerak said, get yourself a companion. I got one not that far in the game for free for becomming a thane of something something... And after that me and her killed alot of dragons together. For some strange reason the dragons always focus more on companions then you...so mostly i stay next to it or behind it and fire arrows at it, while my companion tanks the damage. Doing some of the dark brotherhood quests you get a spell to summon a old ghostly assassin, that might help aswell... But to do it just you vs a dragon i would say shout alot and remember the 5 D's : Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge!
