The key is to see them before they see you. Easier said than done, I know. I try to do a lot of damage, quick as possible. If you aren't good at delivering big damage in melee (or, more importantly, aren't good enough a sneak to catch them unawares so you can deliver said big damage) you'll need to snipe them with a good bow (poisoned arrows are helpful) or use a big spell. But really, the key is see and hurt them before they see you.
If you can't avoid a "fair" fight, best to carry some appropriate potions and a good fast blade. They can disappear in an instant (as you have no doubt noticed, judging from your frustration) so I think a fast weapon (a good dagger or shortsword) will probably make them easier to hit.
