@k-lythgoe: Level 16 should be okay. My personal preference for obliterating dragons is this:
Party: Me (Mage), Cassandra, Vivienne, Varric (or Sera)
Tactics: Set Viv to use Barrier on preferred (otherwise control it yourself); if you are a mage, acquire and use upgraded Barrier as well--keep the Barrier constantly UP! for the whole party; place Varric at a good ranged distance so that the dragon does not pull him in, and set him up with whatever you want for his most powerful shots (I would limit abilities to 1 or 2 to keep the stamina flowing); have Cassandra target one of the back legs, and you yourself should target the same leg until the dragon stumbles, then go for the head.
Potions: if you need to, use elemental resistance, but really, the barrier should be enough as long as you continue to spam it.
Make sure your party targets specific body parts (Varric-head, Viv-head, Cass-leg). This kind of confuses the dragon and makes it move around less. When it flies up to target you from above, simply go into overhead-mode and move your party out of the way, or just have them follow you. Going into overhead strategy is also good to get a party member out of the way of extended ground attacks (i.e. breath of the dragon).
