The toughest enemies I've faced at different parts of the game have been giants, Draugr Deathlords, and Ancient Dragons. As of current the only thing that is ever really a threat to me are high level casters even though I can have up to almost 80% magic resistance.
While fighting a Dragon Priest (I'm fairly sure it was Krosis) in front of a word wall. I first kill the dragon. Then face the Priest and he proceeds to pummel me with Fireballs. I run like mad drinking potions. I manage to trick him off the nearest cliff. I then spend 15 minutes looking over...
When you enchant stuff to fortify your Destruction I recommend doing the enchant that is only Fortify Destruction, not the one that also increases magic regen. If you get the fortification high enough you don't need the magic regen as you're using so little or perhaps even none. Also you can...
The tougher and enemy the bigger their soul is. Dragon Priests have Grand souls for example. Draugr Deathlord I think are Greater while Draugr Death Overlord are Grand. Human souls and any other player species are Grand but can only be captured in Black Soul Gems. I think Giants are either...

The only thing now that gives me any trouble is casters. For some reason I can't seem to take more than 3-4 hits from a high level caster (and I'm Breton, I think the last patch mucked up my magic resistance). Draugr Deathlords don't even faze me anymore, their shouts make me wobble at most...
I've noticed that regeneration potions tend to sell for a lot. Once you get a high enough skill in it, creating Smithing potions is good as you can create a better one than you can buy. This helps when improving weaponry and armor if you wanna make your character badass.
I generally only carry with me three unique special items. Azura's Star, which I haven't yet used as I have probably 15 empty grand soul gems and 10 empty black soul gems with something like 30 Grand Souls lying around in gems. Spellbreaker, which I don't often use as I like to keep my left hand...
