I try to stand below his belly and roll when he stomps. When he does, his tail lands on the ground temporarily. Some wouldn't consider this the best tactic in the world, but i like it and i always succeed with it. As for the item itself, i'm on XBL.

Stand still right in front of him. Dodge when you need to and block if you can. When he goes for his Eye of Calamity attack, roll backwards. If it is his breathing fire down on you while standing on his hind legs attack, roll forwards and between his legs. Hit the tail. That's how I do it on NG+ and above. It can take a while though since he won't always do that attack.

The suggestion Tolvo had is probably easier and simpler than mine, as you'd have to be quick to do what i do. His tail is only down for a couple of seconds when he stomps. Just pointing it out.

Yeah just stand in front of him unlocked if he stomps lock on and block if he stands run around and do a running attack. He's pretty easy to make him do what you want solo.
Coop gets strange.
Also some people say roll under legs but I think running around works better.

I've always thought co-op was the easiest way to do it. That way one could just pull him and make him do the stomp attack while you cut off the tail.
Or even better... Shoot it off with a Dragonslayer greatbow!

Another good idea is to cast unlocked spells, preferably large ones, like Fireballs, WoG and Dark Bead whenever he stops near you. Fireballs work exceptionally well.

In coop, I stood back and used the PHaris bow; this was only on NG, but it should work just fine on NG+. One person to keep him occupied,one to shoot it off.

I actually use the Gough's Bow for it, since it's a gough themed toon. But, a composite bow is the best. You'll just deal more damage in a smaller amount of time. I've noticed my Chaos +4 bow with fire arrows deal a good amount against him. I'm assuming though that +14 with large arrows would be far more effective given the resistance of Kalameet.

Yeah but he does wide arcing sweeping attacks; I'd try it, but the range you'd need would be point blank...

It works best when mid or fast rolling. You can just roll then when he tries anything and back off as he gets aggro onto you.

I've found the scythe/gargoyle's halberd and black knight spear to be the best weapons for cutting off the tails of most dragons and espcially Kalameets. A chaos+4/+5 scythe is easily qualified for, does good damage and has a great moveset for cutting his tail. If you use any of these, I strongly suggest you light roll for the speed.
In terms of baiting Kalameet to drop his/her tail, I keep at a mid-distance to bait the rearing-up fire-breath attack, or circle around to the right and aim to stay directly under the middle of his/her tail and bait his/her tail attack. If you're fast you can get two hits in each time.
