I'm thinking of making a Dunmer assassin/rogue build*my favorite rpg class after warrior* but I've heard that stealth characters are notoriusly weak in a head on fight*ie Dragons* so I was thinking of making a hybrid build focusing on Sneak,One handed,bows and Light armor is this a good idea?

I've done this (kinda).
I usually play tank/melee style & lately started being a sneeky tank with a kick butt bow. Heavy armor weighs nothing when you max it out. Top it off with muffle boots and fortify sneak ring/amulet.
It's working very nice for me. (so far).

That's what I did, although it's more a mix of combat/stealth/magic. I use one handed, sneak, light armor, marksman, then destruction and restoration. Marksman is, I find, the best weapon against dragons because you don't have to get close to them and can avoid most of their attacks.

Poisons, potions of true shot, archery plus gear and a good vantage point when starting out (at least against dragons you can sneak up on) and the stealth type player can wail on a dragon something fierce. Bring a companion along to serve as dragon fodder, some heavy hitting melee that will get right up in there, or a mage that can take attention with their spells. While they have the attention you can sneak up on a landed dragon to backstab it or pop off sneaky arrows at it while in flight.
