Haven't fought this guy yet, and I can't say I'm looking forward to it, either; from what I've heard, Dreadking is the most problematic out of all the Deviants due to hitting harder than most Deviants, having a durable hide that requires blue Sharpness to penetrate most of its parts, having very powerful ranged attacks (that giant fireball tho), inflicting Severe Poison, and bringing his lovely wife into battle at higher levels.

On the bright side, his armour is probably the best out of all of the Deviant armours as it grants immunity to wind effects and higher-level roars while boosting the damage you do to weakpoints and your attack power in general, and if paired with a good Hellblade weapon (white sharpness+high raw damage+positive affinity+Blast element=fun), you will wreck nearly anything that stands in your path. Too bad I most likely won`t get there; with the combination of me being a solo hunter and the higher-level Deviants being tanky as hell, the time will probably run out before i reach my goal.
