I think I really need to get to the Mage's college do they give better spells? Had an encounter recently where I could not kill one guy almost no matter what I did (and everyone else in the fort I killed pretty easily). He had a sword and shield, and I could only back up so far. I couldn't out DPS his sword with my magic, and I couldn't attack with just my sword as he had his shield to block most of the attacks.
I had to try it a zillion times till a combination of all my healing potions and hitting with every frost bolt and him missing a few times and my conjured thing attacking him instead of someone else and some other random things that went my way to beat him.

You don't need the Mage's college necessarily to get better spells. You can buy spellbooks from anyone who sells them. The court mage in Whiterun sells a bunch of them.
Also, the destruction magic perks help. If you're using frost, get the one that gives frost spells +25% damage. Dual wielding spells also helps (especially with the dual wielding destruction perk). Also try using a weakness to frost potion on him if you're still having trouble.
And, in general, when someone has you backed into a corner the unrelenting force shout will usually knock them back enough for you to get out of it.
