When fighting such a tough single opponent as a dragon, some things should be obvious... Cast a bunch of protection spells, drink potions, summon tough monsters, haste the party.
Against Fiirkrag, have everyone in your party drink a Fire Resistance potion.
Once you start fighting the dragon, have your mage(s) be ready to cast breeching spells to take down any protective magics the dragon brings up, particularly stoneskin. Nothing is so wasteful as having your tanks waste perfectly good hits on stoneskins. If you have a cleric in you party, Holy Smite is an excellent anti-dragon spell.
Have your tanks surround a dragon, so that wing buffets cannot affect all of your tanks.
Archers (Ranger kit specifically) make awesome dragonslayers. They can stay out of melee range and should hit every time, if the dragon's magical defenses are kept down.
If you have a character that's taken really heavy damage, have that character retreat and start sucking down the healing potions.
Keep your mage(s) away from dragons. I like the wand of monster summoning for this. (I always recharge this wand at the start of the game.) If a dragon looks like he's gonna come chasing a mage, use the wand of monster summoning to drop in some decent cannon fodder in his path.
Above all else, try to always keep hitting a dragon constantly. Never let up. Dragons are do-able, even at relatively low levels, if you use good tactics.
