Use odahviing, or dragon rend stay out of melee range or stop fast travelling to the area where the dragon spawns, i found that if i reload a save after going to an area with a dragon i didnt want to fight, if i reload and fast travel to a different area first then to my intended destination they're less likely to spawn and in some cases not at all. otherwise lvl 35 mage, you should be using the opposite of the dragons breath and use your stoneflesh or ironflesh or whatever magic level your up to. also get a follower let them tank damage for and away from you. simple little things that can be done to help. also since you've completed the game use dragon rend bring them down and keep your distance. afterthat if you do get a follower i recommend one of the companions becuase a majority of them are essential and unkillable, along with that if they get downed lure the dragon a distance away from them and heal them with your spells you SHOULD HAVE.
