A fight that could swing either way could fall into that category.  I suspect that it is very much a fight you need to play 'smart' to win. You need to balance getting close to allies (to cleanse them of the Shroud) with staying spread out (to avoid breath weapon and tail swipe). The biggest danger that I see is simply it going nova at the start of a fight. Get a surprise round, which is uses to charge (instinct) and dragon breath. Round 1, good chance of winning init, and if breath recharges, it shrouds and action points to breath again. That will leave a party in real bad shape.  Of course, sometimes that just means they need to try and run for it. This guy is fragile, so a group that isn't immediately put on the complete defensive can probably hammer him down real fast.</blockquote>
