[Skyrim] Why are the dragons underutilising their own language?

I've seen the dragonborn and the greybeards do some amazing things with the dragon tongue. Like super speed, controlling the weather, or even slowing time itself. 

But every dragon I encounter just uses some elemental attack. Why aren't there dragons zipping towards you at impossible speed, or stopping time to bite off a few heads, or using mind control techniques?

For the same reason you can't run as fast as Usain Bolt, or do math as well as Einstein, or swim as well as Michael Phelps, or eat food as fast as Takeru Kobayashi, or cook as well as Gordon Ramsay, or sculpt as well as Michelangelo, etc... Just because it is possible, does not mean anyone can do it. 

The words, by themselves, are not what gives them power. The words are simply a means to project that power and intent. The actual "technique" is entirely internal and inseparably tied to their own willpower and deeper understanding. That's the reason something like a dragon-hierarchy can even exist in the first place. That's why a dragon like Alduin can even be considered "special" in the first place. If every dragon could just tie words together to summon lightning and meteors, and control minds, and move impossibly fast then there is no way that they could ever be defeated. They would be a virtually unbeatable force.

It is clear that when it comes to offense, most dragons appear to choose a single type of attack to focus on. It is better to be really really good with one or two things than it is to be sorta, kinda good at a bunch of stuff.
