Skyrim Ligh Armor+Dual Wield vs Dragons?

I had a question on the effectiveness of Light Armor vs Dragons.

I've been doing good against dragons using Light Armor & Dual Wield. My Health is....335 I think and I am wearing Glass Armor. My Light Armor skills is in the 60's I believe and I have the first 2 perks in the Light Armor tree.

The game has been easy...too easy. So, I move the difficulty settings to Master. I noticed that monsters have been tougher, which is what I wanted, but they've still seem pretty easy to defeat. The issue I am having is with some Elder Dragons.

I generally hang back a little to let my Sword/Shield companion Lydia grab his attention while I move in from the side/behind to slice him up. Most of the times I win, but sometimes I'll draw his attention. I've had around 80% health when he will sometimes just instant kill me.

My question is...am I doing something wrong or is this instant kill normal on Master Difficulty?

    Awesome that you manage to make the game easy. If you want to go more difficult, just try a weapon you aren't so good at. Say like maces? Or dismiss your followers from helping you. Try battling with only cloths or naked. I enjoy going striking while killing dragons sometimes. Just for the weirdness of it. You just have good strategy in the game, so be glad about that.

    definite, heavy armor will take care of you plenty extra effective than easy armor - easy armor makes you quieter, extra stealthy and agile - it helps a rogue form of playstyle. With heavy armor you would be extra secure, yet can now no longer sneak besides - you will play a type of warrior/paladin archetype. it is your selection particularly - in case you twin wield, sneak and backstab, your easy armor does no longer count as a results of fact no person might touch you. yet once you ran in with finished heavy armor and an excellent greatsword, you ought to purely cleave each physique and look off the assaults. for my section, i'm having exciting enjoying a mixture of a ranged/melee character - I burn and shoot them from afar with my bow, and in the event that they get p.c. up, i've got positioned perks into criticals and heavy hits with my greatsword, so I purely down them in one hit, and regen with potions. yet i assume once you're in confusing mode, you ought to no longer test as very like that - i might persist with a "generic" type enjoying - pass rogue, sneaky and easy-weight, or pass warrior, enormous and heavy hitting.
