I have never tried needle but have a stockpile of obsidian. I have upgraded silver armor, a silver sword, banded iron shield, crystal battleaxe and my draugr bow. Thats about it. Use Needle or Obsidian Arrows not Poison or Fire ones. Poison Arrows DoT effect doesn't stack so you want high pierce damage ones instead.
If you got silver armor and weapons you can also tank during the Bonemass buff whenever she lands. With the buff active she doesn't deal much damage. Keep in mind it will be a long fight. I did it together with a friend and we still went through the entire Bonemass buff.
Obsidian is fine. Little less damage than Needle but much easier to farm. I think with your gear you are good to go.
Also before you go in to the Plains craft a Frostner. It knock backs Furlings and slows them. Amazing weapon. Only downside is you cant do your 3 hit combo because your third overhand hit will miss because of the knockback.
