The new fight isn't terrible. Other than losing the cannons, it has replaced an unintuitive mechanism (positioning the dragon and yourselves so the tornadoes don't end up blocking the cannons) with a clearer wall of approaching tornadoes you need to dodge.

Poor tank positioning in the old fight could also lead to the tank inadvertently getting the cannon operator killed by having the dragon – and thus its fire breath attack – close to and facing the cannons.
