This is more or less what should be required to even stand a chance against an enderdragon
WEAPONS:
Diamond tipped arrows (amount varies with skill)
Golden sword with the dragon slayer enchantment (received only by enchanting a golden sword at level 50)
ARMOR:
Full diamond all with at least level 10 enchants to prevent being one or two shot
BUFFS:
Highest level speed potion
Highest level Strength potion
Highest level fire resistance potion (to avoid the flaming breath, duh)
SUPPORT:
Milk to cure poison from its melee attacks
Tons of cobble stone to quickly set up barriers to block projectile attacks
METHOD:
1. Shoot at the dragon with the diamond tipped arrows as it flies around shooting mass swarms of blaze type fireballs at you, occasionally shooting a massive ghast type explosive that deals massive damage
2. once the dragon lands from arrow damage bust out the dragon slayer and get dat milk ready, dragon melee will do about 5 hearts of damage and poison you
How about also giving the dragons, a flame attack, that when flying around, he flies over leaving a trail of flame on the ground for a short duration. Or as long as fire will last, when there is not flue around to spread to.

I feel like adding in the melee part of combat would be challanging and fun, having to dodge the teeth and claws of him. There of course couldn't be the zombie styled attack of run into you, with zero animations, for attacks. It should be the dragon will swing a foot across, or down, so you have to side step, or jump over it. Like the idea.

You can't make metre cubed pieces of rock get jiggy with each other, that's just WRONG.
I think you should read it again because it also says that «This page contains content on features that have been confirmed, but not yet added to the game.» and that «Notch plans to make the Enderdragon very difficult to fight without "enhancements."»
I don't know if u have seen this but it says enderdragons invunreble
probably just a place holder, 90% of the fun of dragons is slaying them, im sure notch is cooking up something...he also recently tweeted about a boss fight
The problem here is that you want Notch to, instead on adding good things, add a lot of itens and enchants that serve only one purpose, and even if they were useful for other things, would be overpowered? Plus waste time making the dragon the mob with the most advanced AI?
There are simpler ways to make the battle harder. For an exampe see my sig.

all of these things except the dragon slayer enchant and the diamond arrows are already in game and the only thing here that serves only one purpose is the golden sword enchant, which is fair considering golden swords currently serve no purpose.
pots have multiple uses, enchanted armors have multiple uses, diamond arrows would have multiple purpose even milk is also used for curing poison spider poison
no one said the dragon needed advanced AI, just 2 projectile attacks and loss of flight after X amount of damage, which isn't really anymore advanced that what we already have
the only two things that would need to be added would be diamond arrows and the dragon slayer enchant...i could google how minecraft mods work and make a diamond arrow mod within 2 hours, I'm sure notch can add those in 30 seconds in addition to the dragon slayer enchant
it doesn't get much simpler than utilizing existing mechanics and adding 2 insanely minuscule changes.
I'm confused the page said that its first appearance is in 1.9 prerelease 4 but i have that and I haven't seen one in the end
you can spawn one by right clicking a golden sword in pre release 4 if you move some game files around, there is a note about it on the stickied thread over on 1.9 discussion

True story.

i think notch tweeted once that he wanted them to be near impossible to beat, this would do it, and all of these mechanics are already in game
also cool

Not fighting an army.
