I am so determined to kill a dragon but every time I try to melee it, it ends up with it throwing me around and killing me. I can't get out of it since it is a finishing move. I've tried keeping my distance and using only magic and archery but it seems like its not working well since I only have apprentice magic and not very leveled bow skills. So, I want to melee it most of the time.
It seems like every time it does this finishing move, my health is around half or lower (half is 50 at the moment…) How can I stop the dragon from flailing me around? Is there some criteria that needs to be met for it to do that move?

Your health and random chance determine whether a finisher will be performed. Strangely, armor does not factor into the equation. If you do not wish to use mods that change the chance of a finisher move, your best bet is drinking potions, eating all the cheese or using a drain health weapon/spell when your health gets low. Killing it from a distance is also a good way to avoid a finisher. Boosting your max health is good to give you more time until you have to recover health.
