Heehee. Been there, done that.
In fact I remember in early discussions about dragon pretenders that a tactic suggested was to attack a dragon-held province with some magical summons such as Call of the Wild, or maybe an assassination, then follow it with an army.

On the other hand I think that when a dragon completes his 5 scripted orders he will do the automatic form-change if he is hit.
