Truth be told, Drakaina actually is not as fast as either Arkhos or Karcer, so she's still manageable. Shuang Gou is less annoying than Spear and Mowers as well. Her axes and Torturer's Rage are irrelevant if you keep staying close to her, as she will not use them and attacks with Shuang Gou or kicks instead.

What makes her deadly is her tornado ability. That thing alone is enough to make your usual setup (Pneumo Fists + Frenzy on all equipment) meaningless. She can use it in an instant, and she'll become invulnerable to attacks, while at the same time this attack can takes away half of your health. Due to how wide the tornado is, combined with the instant cast, invulnerability and she moves faster than Back-Handspring, there's really no guaranteed way to dodge/interrupt it (aside from using Charges). Your best bet is minimizing the tornado's damage by defensive enchantments, such as Damage Absorption or Regeneration.
