Ok, for Kalameet, it's easier to bait his attacks rather than predicting them.
I haven't fought Kalameet in a long while so my memory is vague. But i'll try to help you with what i can remember.
For one, if you go up to him, he'll often do the horizontal swipes with his beak. Dodge into it but be careful of a second swipe in your direction. After that, you're free to hit him a couple of times.
Kalameet also has roughly 3 fire attacks. If you see him pause and jerk his head back, he'll do either one of two fire attacks. The first is a simple straight fire blast that can be dodged by going left or right. The second is a sweeping blast which he'll often start from his left. (i think?) Simply back away and charge in for a free hit if there's a chance.
The third is when Kalameet gets up on his hind legs and breaths fire in front of him in an "S" pattern. Unlock, roll up to him and attack away. You can get roughly 3 hits in before his animation ends.
Now for the tail, this is where most of the waiting and baiting comes in.
Stay in front of him but not too close. Just far enough for him to fly at you. Dodge aside just before you see his head touch you and you're safe. Once you dodge out, make sure you're behind him so he will do his tail slam. That's the most obvious chance to go for the tail. Unlock and whack away. Rinse and repeat until you got the tail.
Sorry for the wall of text.
EDIT: Oh and if you stay under him too long, he'll stomp at you. First with the front legs then with his hind legs. His attack patterns are easily telegraphed so you should be get used to it after some time.
Oh, and the infamous flying breath ROCKET OF DOOM! Just unlock, and roll away from him 3 times and you're out of the blast radius. Enjoy your dead Kalameet buffet. =)
