I'm guessing it's the Heretics. Sure they love themselves some dragons, but Lady Iceheart is leading them now, and Haurchefant says that they have a fanatical devotion to her. It wouldn't be any stretch to assume that Lady Iceheart is Shiva in disguise (to the Ishgardians, at least) and that the Heretics are the ones who summoned her.

Remember, any group can summon a primal. Gaius even says we could summon the Twelve if we gorged them on aether. There's nothing saying it must be a beastman tribe that does the summoning.
