Have plenty of magic breeching spells memorized. Whenever a dragon casts stoneskin, cast Breech to dispel it. There's no point in having your party waste perfectly good hits on a stoneskin.
I found the 3rd level cleric spell, Holy Smite, to be very effective.
Don't bother with fire elementals against the red dragon. Aerial servants and earth elementals are much better.
Don't bother with summoning cave bears. Too darned slow after getting smacked across the room with a wing buffet.
Hit'em as hard and fast as possible. Don't let dragons hang around long. The fewer dragon breath attacks, the better.
