I hopped off Shadowmere and let him attack the dragon while I picked its health away with my Ebony Bow. When the dragon was still near full health, a giant lumbered over and beat the dragon to a bloody pulp. Three hits from the giant's club and the dragon was dead. My reaction was O__O...HOLY CRAP! I hopped on Shadowmere and rode away as fast as I could. That's why i never mess with Giants while on Legendary mode... I was on Adept. Still, it's pretty scary fighting Giants with a low health pool. That's one of the reasons why i invest mostly on health after leveling up. I usually invest in Stamina because I always overencumber myself raiding crypts, tombs, and ruins. So annoying.

You can also try using Jewelry that boosts health. The "Peerless" version of health-boosting rings & necklace provides the best boost. I heavily invest in stamina too, especially early during the game.
