I'm level 17 now, and Trolls are really scary, so maybe I'm just shitty at the game.
Bears, trolls, and tigers were deadly as hell until I got into the mid twenties. When I was in my mid-teens and doing the High Hrothgar quest I had to sprint past the troll and the snow tiger on the way to the temple because they both killed the shit out of me no matter how many scrolls, potions, and abilities I used. Killing a dragon in my teens - relatively easy.
Anyway, I'm the standard wizard/thief/warrior that I always play in these games, but am unsure if you can play it any other way. I'm not sure I'd be trucking along if I wasn't shooting enemies at a distance with my bow before they trundled over my frost glyph, only to be finished off with my home-made, enchanted, dwarven sword. I think if I was a pure spell caster I would have given up in rage a long time ago.
I've read playing a pure mage is possible using the "dual-casting destruction spells staggers dudes" perk. Atronachs with the associated perks and the dremora lord are very solid at my level (28, a sneaky conjurer fighter) so I imagine a conjurer + destruction mage is quite doable.

It's pretty funny hearing the dremora lord scream "destroying you will glorify my lord" or whatever at a walrus.
