Easiest tactic against tough targets: Marked for Death shout (several times depending how many words you unlocked),disengage (invisibility, or sneak if you can) then sneak attack with a bow (bound or normal, even if you are not a dedicated archer), usually a one hit kill. Marked for Death is kinda easy to learn especially if you join the Dark Brotherhood (which is also not that hard to achieve)

If you want straight combat, then be prepared simply: either use wards or stack spell absorption (easy for Bretons, take the atronach stone and pop racial =100% for 1 min), and use well timed destruction spells (dual cast and perked to stagger him).Don't summon atronachs as he will take them over.

For "warriors" well....you need spell absorption and to stagger him when he uses the staff on you.Marked for Death also helps a lot.

For "sneak" characters.....well....distract him(throw voice, or shoot an arrow at the wall) and power backstab him with the best dagger possible (blade of woe for instance) with the right equipment, you can either kill him instantly, or leave him at low enough health to finish him off quickly. Once again, Marked for Death shout helps a lot.
